Well My Good Ole Hdd Bit The Dust
« on: May 22, 2004, 03:17:00 PM »

basically, i need a site that has a 120 gigger for around or under 70 bucks (i found one on pricewatch for 60, buts it has 1mb cache and 5200 rpm, so i need something a little better)
lockability isnt an issue as i cant use stock m$ bios ne ways


or an 80 gigger will suffice for now, just so i can transfer my data

While the faster drive will be a bit better, the Xbox isn't exactly a speed demon when it comes to drive reads.

Yeah you would be somewhat hard pressed to really see the difference.

OH... got a perfect match for you... I saw a 120 gig 5400 rpm on dumpinggoods.com for 66 bucks plus shipping, probably like 5 for shipping - I just ordered some comptuer stuff from there so I know their legit at least.
