Your RAID Hard Disk Recommendation?

Hello folks. This is my first post. Nice place here
OK, I am just stunned by the amazing performance posted by some, ah many folks in this forum.

My question, no plea, to fellow modders & OverClockers, ..
Where may one obtain a pair of (aproximate size) 20 GB Hard Disks that are:
  • 7200 rpm,
  • Parallel ATA 133,
  • cache 8MB,
  • Fluid Dynamic Bearings, i.e. not ball bearing?
Thanks very much! Best wishes, Ugly

The only company that makes ATA/133 HDD's is Maxtor.

They make two versions of the drive you want, 20GIG, 7200RPM, ATA133(not so sure about the fluid drive part, I know the larger drives are 30+)

BTW they will run you about 60+ a pop

For the same $ you could get the 30GIG drive and I know that one is Fluid drive

Maxtor has the drive you want, 20GIG's , ATA133, 7200RPM, and fluid drive, but like I said it is the same price as the 30GIG drive with all the same specs...
