New Notebook HDD...
Ok... so I realize this is PCmech but I have recently obtained GASP a powerbook G3... (dont worry *nix is being dropped on it) but I'm looking to upgrade from the 6gig drive...
So I was wondering peoples opinions on these two drives I'v been looking at: We have a Seagate with an 8mb cache and a 5 year warranty. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822148089 Or a Toshiba with a 16mb cache and a 3 year warranty. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822149015 Are seagates notebook drives comprable to their desktops? Is toshiba a decent quality drive? differences in power consumption? shock protection? Any info would be much appreciated. |

ok so it seems the drive controller on the G3 doesnt actually play nice with ATA-6 drives.... ah well... no laptop for me... still curious as to how much of a difference everyone feels the 16mb cache would make and opinions on toshiba's customer service/reliability and such.

I don't see much of a difference with the Toshiba's drives. We used to carry them, but no longer, the support on it was bad also. I thought a 16mb would make a difference, but a simple Hitachi had the same, if not better performance.
