I currently have a Maxtor 6Y080L0 80GB UDMA/133 IDE HARD DRIVE. More information at the following link:
It can only store up to 80GB of data and its quite old now. I'm currently having, well i believe to be facing a big problem with this, the random clicks may mean the hard-drive may stop working at anytime. I've read up on the different types SATA/IDE. My PC doesnt currently have any SATA connections. I'm not looking for anything new, my current 80GB is more than enough to store my data, i'm probably looking at 160GB max. But not quite sure what to be looking out for or where i should look around. I'm just waiting for my current one to fail on me, and will replace it with the new one, so theres no issues about the drive bays, i can create a new partition which i currently have on this hard drive.
Any suggestions?
Cheers.
