I'm soon going to buy a new HD and I was wondering, which qualifications are the best when buying a new one. So how many RPM should it have (I believe 7.200) what should be the size of the cache (2.048, 8,192 or another cache) and what should be the seek time. I hope you can give me some advice about it. Thanx

Ya you sould have a 7200 rpm drive, the 2mb buffer or 8 doesnt matter b/c you xbox cannot use the extra. If you are going to also in the future use the drive for you computer you may want to get the 7200 rpm 8 meg drive.
I would recomend the maxtor 7200 rpm 8meg buffer. You can find really good deals on them. They are now only $89 after rebates at Staples.

Thank you for the info Cribby. But I have a pretty big store for all sorts of computer (in this case xbox 
) parts in area, and with good prices, so I'll look on their site if they have a good model for me. I think I'll take a 8mb one, so I can always use it for my PC to. Again Thank You for the info.
