Answer 2

SATA is a faster transfer mechanism than Ultra ATA but you will need a mother board that supports SATA in order to use a SATA HDD. And Ultra ATA HDD will work on a boad that supports other ATA HDD but may not work as fast as a board that has suppost for Ultra ATA.

Both Maxtor and Seagate are good brands. What you want to try to get is the lowest seek time, highest RPM and a high cache memory for your money.

Hope this helps

Answer 3

Definitely Seagate ..... no contest.

Go for SATA 2 (300 MByte transfer rate) rather than invest in older & slower technology.

You may need to buy a SATA 2 adapter if you PC does not already have one. They sell for around $40.

***** MAKE SURE THEY ARE BOTH (HDD & Card) SATA 2 *****

Answer 5

Seagate produces a huge selection of confusing drives. the domicile fashions are elementary high quality in comparison to the severe end ones (like the Savvio 15K) that are extremely effective and good. As for Maxtor, you could evaluate them because of the fact the wonderful interior the very low-priced. My renowned low-end confusing disk producer is Western digital.
