Need recomendations for an internal HD

Yes, I'm the same idiot that's been asking this shit. Third and hopefully final thread.

Anyone got any recomendations for IDE ATA 100 internal drives?

Below is basically the listing of what I'm looking for via newegg. Yes, I know this post is partially [largely] going to be redundant, seeing as what I'm linking to, but I just wanted to know if any of y'all had suggestions.

Also, money isn't a problem.

Asking for help is not idiocy, OP.  The idiocy is in thinking you know what you're doing when you really don't.

All you really need to know for obtaining an IDE drive is comparative cost per gigabyte, and access speed.  For about the same size of drive, try to obtain the highest RPM (speed) drive you can, since that's the bottleneck of it all.  If you're saying money isn't a problem, then you can well afford a higher-speed drive for the size you want.

The list you gave us shows some Hitachi drives that have the lowest avg seek times of 8.5ms, but they're ATA133.  The WD drives are ATA100 and feature 8.9ms.  This one seems OK for size, cost and speed:

Let us know which ones you're looking at once you make a decision, even a partial decision.

Hey, thanks.

What are the differences between ATA 100s and 133s, anyway? Couldn't get wikipedia to tell me... Since my comp needs an IDE ATA, would it specifically need one or the other?

SATA > IDE

I know, but I don't have the right cable to use SATA.
