Hi folks,
I have a very tiny computers and only have space for 1 HDD. Since I use Firwire and it's a P4 3.4 Ghz with 1 GB of RAM I don't need speed, I need space.
It has to be S-ATA but I haven't built a computer by hand sine PIO 4 was FAAAAST so what is the best € to GB (I am based in Europe so Froogle etc are no use to me) out there these days?
Thanks

The more I learn, the more I come to realize how little it is I know.

www.storagereview.com
They mostly review hard drives, and have a large searchable database to compare everything from temps to noise to speed.Some people say dog is mans best friend. I say that man is dog's best slave... At least that is what my dogs think. -
If price is no object, Hitachi has a 500GB SATAII 3.0Gb/s. Actual throughput is probably only slightly higher than SATA but you get speed and capacity. You won't need to upgrade for quite some time.
Nothing can stop me now, 'cause I don't care anymore. -
If money doesnt matter why not get a SCSI drive, 15000RPM, plus its own error checking and defragging.
EDIT sorry I thought title said FASTEST. -

Thanks guys. Yes it was NOT a typo: I want SIZE not speed.
I have done the SCSI thing but that would require another controller.
Price is less of an issue but if I am not getting a similar GB/€ ratio I may wait a little.
Thanks for your input.
