Atomic Rooster Omnipotent One Messages 11,161 Location USA Feb 23, 2008 #5 For only $1 more, I would recommend the Maxtor STM380215AS 80GB 7200 RPM 2MB Cache SATA-300 drive. But then, that Exelstor does have a larger cache and two different power connections making it easier to power. The reviews are good too.
