OT: Seagate 750 gig HD for $350
« on: July 31, 2006, 07:48:43 pm »
Get 'em while they're hot...     (ST3750640AS-D)

Seagate 750 gig SATA hard drive with 5 years warranty for $350.  No rebates, no sales tax (unless you're in CA) and free shipping

Having more hard drive only encourages me to get more music...

I kind of wonder when the 1000 Gig drives will be out

SPCR has a very good review of this latest Barracuda (ST3750640AS).

They had Lacie 600GB drives a short while back--a week or two after I bought 3 WD 500GB drives for only about $20 less per drive than the 600GB drives!

If you're going to start using those huge great mucking drives, be sure to go to RAID1 (mirroring) in your workstation.

You can get decently fast RAID1 controllers (SATA or PATA) for less than $15 at newegg.com.  If you want an intelligent controller with lots of battery-backed cache memory, plan on spending $100 and up.

Personally, I believe that workstations need minimal disk, huge chunks of disk belong in a well-designed NAS sitting on the network.

Compare MC's performance with media on a network vs. in a workstation.
