Anyone know where to get good Hard Drives between about 80 gb an 160 gb IDE an SATA. Need multiple drives so hopeing to find some cheap. Maxtor or western digital.
-
External or Internal?
-
Some what both more internal, you seem paranoid.
-
Depends where you live really - I myself don't like Maxtor ones - I also thought Maxtor and WD made all there drives the same... I cannot see them deliberately making good and bad hard drives.
In one of my computers, I have had a hard drive for 12 years, its sounds abit like "Louis Armstrong" but it is still working.
-
I use maxtor alot around here. West coast of us
-
Well I'm from the United Kingdom, so by the time you paid for shipping, it wouldn't be worth it.
-
If I was getting a new Hard Drive, I would just go down to the computer store and get one. ::)

I live in a remote location, the closet thing is a walmart which is thridy minutes from my house. Which is a problem when I can probably get it cheaper online.

Walmart seems cheap enough, so why don't you get it from there. I mean, 30 minutes, it isn't exactly a 100 miles away is it. I would call 30 minutes away, my local store.
End of the day, I just don't see this has a hardware fault.

It is when you cant exatly drive. A side from the fact its not a super walmart or anything. So the drives are bigger then what I want.

What?
-
Yeah I think there like 300 or something, we dont really have a wide range.
-
Oh right. 300GB is a lot, you know.
-
It is when your still running old stuff. I have at least five 370 pcs two 478 an well you get the idea.

Well, if you really want to get a cheap one online, why didn't you just google it 'Cheap hard drives'. Just don't come crying if you have to send it back.
-
Just go to Walmart and say "I wanna BIG HD!" :P

Not at all sure what you mean here, but I know what I would do if these were my computers. I would scrap all of the old ones I had. And I would just consentrate on the new ones I had.
-
I would too, if we still did use them, helped me out here and there. CD drives,cards,ram,hds......

I'd order from newegg.com. 20 HD under $50 to choose from:
