Seems good enough to me...
250 GB should be MORE than enough for anything. Heh, I've had a 120 GB HD since september, and I stll haven't managed to fill it.
Whts the price of this?

 For the time being, my 6gb HDD serves me well... |

Oftentimes these huge hard drives seem more than enough, more than anybody could ever concievably use...
But with a lot of people, the more space they have, the more they waste...
...meh.

If your motherboard supports it, I strongly recommend you get a SATA hard drive. They offer improved performance over IDE hard disks (faster data transfer rates). Check your motherboard and see if you find any SATA ports, like these: www.ezguide.co.kr/spec_img/boa/GA-81PE1000MK-SATA-Port-O.jpgAnd as for the storage capacity, don't buy too big; Just buy the size you need. For example if you require at the very least 25 GB of disk space, get a hard drive that has approximately 3 times that amount, i.e. a 80 gig drive (which is often really a 76 gig...). Copied from another post I made: I wouldn't recommend buying a 250 GB hard drive (for example) if you're not expecting to fill it up in the next 5 years. More than likely, it will fail before you can ever fill it. Today's hard drives can hold a lot more than older hard drives but they do not last as long. (my 3 year-old Maxtor 80 gig drive already has a couple bad clusters). And I can just imagine how long a scandisk, defrag, or reformat would take on a 250 GB HD. Just buy large enough for it to hold your stuff in the next few years. I would suggest a 80-120 GB hard drive for a gamer. |
