Be sure to check the jumper on the drive...I believe they are jumpered from the factory to run SATA I (to accommodate older boards) and your PC certainly supports the faster SATA II.

Go with a Western Digital Raptor Sata 1TB or 750GB for around $249 i think. Just as long as it's a Western Digital.
Excuse Me?
Didn't Think So!
There aren't any Raptors of 1TB/750GB size.
Just out of curiosity, what do you base your love of WD drives on?

I thought it worth mentioning that I did find a great standalone utility called SIV, which appears spot on in terms of accuracy.
It has quite a bit to offer in terms of information as well and gives "live" reading on info such as temp, memory usage, etc.

Wow, Skiz, that's an amazing little app.
Thanks.

With SATA drives there is no master or slave designation.
If there is a jumper, it should only be to limit data transfer to 1.5Gb\s on a drive capable of 3Gb\s (SATA vs. SATA2).
Depending on the age (and capabilities) of your Mobo, you probably will not need any jumper on the HD.

Western Digital makes good hard drives.
Well, I removed the jumper entirely and all seems well.
I let it run for a day or two prior to moving my music over.
Still fearful of deleting the music from the original drive tho'. I just feel safer with a backup.
