Default seagate cheetah 15k.5 73gb**SOLVED** CLOSE THREAD**

i have been looking at this drive for a few days now and was wondering what type of connection is it? (ex.sata, sata 2)

Also i want to know ur guys opinion on it for an os drive. I'm really considering picking one up for my next upgrade (which will be in like 2 months.)

NCIX.com - Buy Seagate Cheetah 15K.5 73GB 15000 RPM Ultra 320 SCSI 80PIN U320 Hard Drive - ST373455LC In Canada.

My motherboard came with 2 SAS ports *gloats*

I was thinking about getting a 15k RPM drive myself. The problem is, the drives themselves can cost a significant amount.

I think the Seagate 15k.6 drives should be significantly faster than the 15k.5 drives.
