No 120gb SATA2 HD's in USA?
After much consideration, I'm about to build my first PC, a low-end (to
a middle-of-the-road) game machine. It going to be base-off this hardware set-up (so far). AMD ATHLON 64 3000+ (WINCHESTER) GIGABYTE K8N ULTRA-9 KINGSTON 1GB DDR400(512MB X 2); Looking for a 120gb (8mb cache) SATA2 internal HardDrive. Anyway, I've been searching all night and have not found one of these hard drive's (any manufacture model) for sell in the US market. In fact, only Samsung offered one 120gb sata2 model in UK & Europe market. Very strange? Anyone care to speculate why this is? I guess i'll go with a 160gb Sata2 HD instead. Don't really need a 40gb's more though. Any & all suggestions on brand names and models would be appreciated. BTW- URL's would be nice too. S_H |
Try Central Computer in California
http://centralcomputer.com/products.asp?pline=HDRII They show 120gb from both Seagate & WD.I'v bought drives, MB, CPU etc. from them in the past and never had any complaints(both in store and more recently e-mail order).

S_H Mr. John Smith, all those drives listed on the site you provided are SATA1, not the SATA2 interface. So, Mr.Semi_Head was correct, there are no 120gb SATA2 drives availiable in the USA. That's interesting! TT |
