Forum Storage : Hard Drives [Solved] Which Drive to Choose?

hello all,

 

i'm currently looking at hard drives for my new build. the new computer will be used mostly for gaming and light software usage. so a 5900 rpm 750 gb, 32mb cache should suffice. can anyone recommend any good hard drives? im looking at a price of 50-70$ after rebate (oem/bare drives are fine). and i also realize that the prices skyrocketed after the Thailand flood, but if you do know of any good deals, please post.

 

any help would be greatly appreciated

If it is a single drive I suggest any 7200rpm drive from a major manufacturer that fits your budget, there is a speed gain over slower drives!
