320GB Perpindicular recording drive!! Should be here wednesday. I really didn't want to spend anymoer money on my comp, but my 80GB secondary drive is now full so i had no choice.
I just wish my stupid old mobo supported SATA2, but whatev, the seek times alone will make a big difference!

Aslo, does anyone have a short SATA cable? I'm talking like 6" because I had to order a 16" one and that's WAAAY too long.

Yeah, that's a nice drive, though I do have one question. Why would a 3.5" 320GB drive even need to use perpindicular recording? I mean, it's not like they couldn't reach that capacity before Seagate developed PRT.

the higher the density the faster it can read/write access.

Drew: What you can do with that long SATA cable is, get a zip-tie, and the SATA cables 'fold' nicely, so you can fold up any slack and then tie it tight with a zip-tie or two.

Really you shouldn't fold any kind of cable!!! It will hender the signal strength or stop responding all together :shock:

Hence why he said 'fold'. I'm pretty sure he didn't squeeze them enough for a kink to form. On another note, SATA cables are pretty easy to fold yet solid, so you can get some pretty tight loops without hindering the signal.




If there is a final hour, let's hope for a higher power. One by one, and two by two, I have ammo, what about you?
