but need jumper.

from the sound no of course...
but with other application on, 1 application, feel lagging also...
for an example, browser, either IE or Firefox.

as i said previously, there is no such syntom in my loyalty quantum

u try with other hdd recently yet?

GOa nd buy a new HARD DISK SEA GATE IS THE BEST AMONG ALL!

if i am not mistaken,
wd do not have this problem...AFAIK....
even seagate do nothave this problem, i think...

my seagate as secondary hdd, whereas hitachi as primary...

during transfering data from hitachi to seagate, lagging, kinda slow...

i do not know whether is my windows problem or what,
during launching some application or application is running,
sometime the system will hang for a while and slow...

not sure about above statement..
is there any applcation to test the hdd speed?

but one thing for hitachi hdd is, they give extra 2000MB space...

like i bought 80G for hitachi and seagate..

hitachi total space given = 76.6GB
seagate total space given = 74.5GB

what jumper....

all i know is those at the back of the hdd ..... setting slave and master...

not sure about the jumper thing. cause i'm using a sata 1 connector to a sata 2 hard disk. since it work, i don't bother to scrutinize the whole functionality of the component. may be you can ask others to confirm it.

juz got my 250gb hitachi hdd... very quiet... kindda hot though... 40 degrees nia compared to 35 degrees on my maxtor... now oni i noticed tat my old 30gb maxtor is half the thickness of the new hdd...
the speed is fast... 2 minutes to transfer a 1.2gb file from my maxtor to the new hitachi...
one problem now... one of the screw of my maxtor hdd is damaged... i cant remove it from my cpu now >< i wanna transfer it to my old old old comp to use it as a file server... =(

errr..... 2 minute for 1.2g? i think its kinda slow dude. my maxtor (120gb pata) to my seagate (320gb sata II) take less than 3 minute to transfer 4gb back n forth.

oh, urs is sata2 nia... mine is oni PATA =)
plus the maxtor is an old old old drive... ><

u need cut out ur casing steel?

my maxtor ( source ) is pata. my seagate is sata ( destination ). so still bottlenecked by the pata lor. my maxtor is manufactured in 2003.

got the screw out with the electric drill's screw driver dy =P phew!
my maxtor came along with my desktop... 4 to 5 yrs old dy... ><

time to upgarde larger size now.

i find the maxtor's drive kindda cool eh... it's half the thickness of my new hitachi nia... all 30 to 40gb drive tat slim last time? it's lighter too... =)

Anybody using WD 2500KS here? Any verdict? I'm planning to get that drive since it fits my budget. Just want to ask around first.

How about heat and noise ?

I'm using one, it's barely audible and so far doesn't give me any problem. I can say that it's not as hot as my 80GB maxtor.

That is a good drive, i got 2 of em, one in my main pc one on another pc, cool+quiet not to mention cheap

Sounds good to me. Wow cooler than maxtor 80G? Hmm.. gotta get this one

Those older maxtor running very hot, even my raptor cooler than maxtor
