Title: Which harddrive should I use with this motherboard
Post by: Romial on June 07, 2005, 07:09:05 PM

I have an ASUS A7V8X-X Motherboard(Link (http://\"http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=13-131-451&depa=0\")) and I'm looking to get a new harddrive.  Looks like to me I can only have a ATA/133 or ATA/100 harddrive.  

So I was looking around and I think these are the two best ones for the money/size/speed.  What do ya'll think?  Which one is better?  Or maybe there is even a different one I haven't seen yet that ya'll suggest.  

First harddrive (http://\"http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822144129\")
Second harddrive (http://\"http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822144315\")

Also, is there a big difference or no difference at all between ATA/100 and ATA/133 harddrives?

This will be a gaming computer primarly, so keep that in mind.  Thanks for the help. /smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />

to me a harddrive is a hardrive well unless it it a scsi of a raptor

and also i would go with the western digital there is nothing wrong with the maxtor but the western digital is 200gig and cheaper.
