internal hard drive DELL800 latitude   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #28936 of 28980 |
Hi all,

My 80 GB 7200 rpm internal hard drive (hitachi) died (just 3 year and 1
month). I would like to buy a internal hard drive which is reliable and
best one with reasonable price as well.

I am looking for 160 GB with 5400 or 7200 hard drive.

It is IDE 2.5, ata 100, 8MB buffer. Really appreciate suggestion and
any inputs to buy a new approbriate internal hard drive for my DELL800.

Thanks a lot

cheers

... I agree. At home every morning I do a backup (dump) from the laptop to a desktop and via the internet to New York University, where I teach. Those days...

Almost totally agree with Ardell, but it depends on the computing needs of a person. I'm in the low profile side, since I don't have multi core cpus to do all...

... Sure, but for modest blocksizes the transfer time you mention is less than either the seek time or rotational latency. Rotational latency for 7200 would be...
