Which one are you talking about? WD Caviar?

It's not just about Hard Drive space here also. The older Hard Drive with 40 Gigs of RAM will be surpassed in loading speed by the SATA so it would be preferable to purchase another SATA for Operating System. Load times will be faster.

Western Digital Hard Drives are good but when compared to Seagate WD is just not up to par. Unless you are purchasing a RAPTOR from WD.

Here is a Seagate Barracuda 7200.1 250GB for $69.00.
Newegg.com - Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3250410AS 250GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM

Good luck.

just got my harddisk today at RM340. Haven't install yet... but soon i think... anyway... Does SATA consume more power or IDE consume more power? I have plans to kick off the 40GB and keep only the 250GB and 500GB. Need advice... again...
