Three questions:
- Will this be your boot HD or a storage HD?
- Does your PC use parallel ATA or serial ATA?
- Do you back up your DVDs, install multiple copies of Oblivion, or have other habits that require large amounts of space?
1.It will be a boot HD.Originally Posted by Lemur
2.It is posible my ASRock suports Serial ATA HD's?
3.Well, I play much games.Yes, they saturate my HD.But my father works too in this pc.
Thanks Lemur for the help!

Hi Caius,
If you could post the model # of your ASRock (or if that's not available, the model of your PC) I will take a look and see what sort of ATA it supports.
Also, if you could indicate what sort of budget you're looking at, that would be spiffy. I think if you're going to load up on games and have another user at the PC, you're probably looking at a minimum of 250 gigs to be comfortable. Fortunately for you, 250 gigs is not a lot of money these days.
How i do to know that?Originally Posted by Lemur

A google search turned up that it seems to support SATA 150, so you can use SATA but no SATA2.

He can use SATA II but it will work as SATA I. I attached Western Digital Cavier 250GB KS SATA II to my Gigabyte K8N (s.754). He works as SATA I but becuse higher cash than my old Western Digital Cavier 120 GB SATA I it is faster. Now I use them in software RAID 0.Originally Posted by Husar
Very fast with large files.

If you have money buy Western Digital Cavier 250GB KS SATA II (7200 rpm, 16MB buffer). The best on market for home and small office usage.

You're right, I forgot it's completely downwards compatible.Originally Posted by DukeofSerbia
Do you think a new SATA HDD would be recognizably faster than my current 80GB ATA Maxtor HDD? It has UDMA 133 and 7200RPM, now I wonder whether a normal SATA drive would gain me anything(for example in games that reload often) or whether a Western Digital Raptor(SATA, 10000RPM, NCQ for the Raptor X) would be worth the price?

Probably not much faster but it will be faster because of larger hard disk's cash and slightly faster interface.![]()
My new WD is some ~15-20% faster. Not much but it is because of larger cash and newer technology.
It also depend on cheapset of motherboard and drivers. I have the latest unified drivers for nVidia nForce and they pretty improve works with disks.
Don't waste money on Raptor if you don't need it.![]()
