Seeing that all I have for storage is a 2 year old Maxtor 40GB IDE, I think its safe to say it's time for an upgrade! I'm starting to see '4GB Required HDD space' on games a lot, and the 100GB+ HDDs are getting cheap! OK here's what I need: 100GB space or more (Unless you can convince me to go 80GB), I'd like it to be SATA, and keep it around $80 or less!

WD caviar 80GB SATA 50-60 bucks

For $80 you're looking at an 80 GB PATA (aka IDE). SATA are running around $87... I recommend Western Digital as I use them all the time and whenever there is a problem they are really easy to get an RMA from if you need it.

Do you guys think that 80GB will be enough or should I go for a 120GB HDD?

For about $10 less of that price you can get a new seagate 160gb drive. Check on ebay..

I bought from this guy a couple of times. Great deal. Drives still have warranty and are new.

WD are also great drives. RMA is fairly simple.

Soon, games will be normally about 4gb anyways, so why not go for the 120? That is my best advice, but i am just a stupid pollock, what do i know?

Damn, that 200gig is a really good deal. I may get one myself.

Stay away from Maxtor! They have bad service help and worse warranties. Don't even ask about RMA on those...

I like Seagate's, what can I say.
