| Re: 750gb HDD Is that the one that cost $160? I read some reviews saying windows doesn't recognize the 32mb but it may be fixed now with updates

 | Re: 750gb HDD I've never heard of that case before. Let's see what others have to say about it. I've seen people with this hard drive, and it seems to work fine. I've actually got the 500GB version, and I never had a problem with it. |

| Re: 750gb HDD both seagates and WD have exceptional 750gb models you can't go wrong i would recommend seagate due to the 5 year warranty compared to 3 and the 32mb cache compared to 16mb

 | Re: 750gb HDD I have a Seagate 750gb (I don't think it's 32mb cache though) and it's great. I love Seagate drives and would recommend them over WD. Be careful though. I've read some stuff that says some drives over 500gb are having problems due to the way they write data to the platters. I haven't had any problems, but am keeping my data backed up just in case.
