Does Western Digital have a Hard Drive bigger then 200 GB Capacity and 7,200 RPM?

I think the biggest IDE harddrive currently available is 320 GB.

I know the 200 is not the latest but I wasn't sure if 320 out yet..... I think that the 250 may be of the biggest
please excuse the bad spelling and grammar this is written using a voice recognition program

The 320 gig of Maxtor (5400rpm) isn't out yet so the bigest one now is 200 gig of Western Digital on 7200rpm <_<

Probably cheaper too.

another advantage of a raidcontroller is you ain't limited to 4 ide devices...

Is there a reason you bumped a 4 year old thread?

It is interesting to see the enormous difference in price from now and four years ago... A 320GB HDD now is around $100 OEM, whereas a 750GB is less than $400 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822148134) even.

I got one 500 Gb Maxtor 6H500R0 DiamondMax 11, IDE, 7200 rpm, 16MB Cache, 8.5 ms. Quite fast and lots of space :D . And it wasn't so expensive. No problems with usage, very stable, runnig 24/7.
Regards all.

Well, I should think that would be all you'd need. After all, that nice Mr Gates is quoted as saying that nobody would ever find use for more than 640K of RAM, so what would you load all that data into?

Very similarly, Seagate (which has an awesome warranty) sells their IDE 320GB for $100-120.
Seagate also offers a 400GB for $200 and a 750GB for $450.
(That's my next slurge. :D )
