QUOTE(hardyboyz888 @ Oct 23 2005, 12:30 AM) But NCQ is not utilized in Windows XP yet izzit..? If let's say I bought a HDD that is using SATA II but my mobo only supports SATA I, will it be backward compatible..? NCQ not only has to be supported by WinXP (which it does, BTW), but also the hardware, e.g. mobo. nForce4 & Intel's older 875 and of course the newer 9xx series does support NCQ. Yes to yr 2nd Q. One must realize they've not even achieved the claimed burst rate of SATA1. |

QUOTE(Hornet012 @ Oct 23 2005, 08:15 PM) just wondering is that all HDD you guys complaining are high capacity (60GB above) or low capacity 20 - 40 GB ??? I presume the higher range of capacities. This post has been edited by Razzd: Oct 24 2005, 02:10 AM |

I heard a lot of people report failure on Maxtor. So now Maxtor is faithless in LYN. Seagate and WD is less. Now WD got a lot already (as super macgyver says) and then Seagates users report again. Nothing is perfect.  |

I think I might buy WD next time. But it also depends on my luck when buying the one with a FOREVER life span.  |

RAID or Enterprise editions of normal hard disks are ofcourse costlier, but to me the extra warranty, reliability and speed is worth is. Currently using Western Digital Raptors as my boot drive, and Western Digital's RE2 drives for normal storage.
