    same capacity, but of different price
    « on: December 02, 2006, 11:33:57 PM »
    In a window shopping, I saw some HDDs with same capacity, brandname, rpm,
    but they are of different prices.

    1. Maxtor IEEE1394,7200rpm, 300GB: US$ 200
    2. Maxtor Serial ATA,7200rpm, 300GB: US$ 70
    3. Maxtor UDMA100, 7200, 300GB: US$ 97

    Could someone tell me what makes the differences in the price?

    The second item seems very resonable. Should I take it?

      1. Requires firewire connection
      2. Requires SATA connection and power connector
      3. Standard IDE drive, should work in any machine

        Which has faster data transmission rate: USB 2.0 or firewire ?

        USB 2 is much more common these days and is as fast.
