One more component showed up today, a 80 GB SATA 3Gb/s hard drive. It’s the Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 and has a 8MB cache and NCQ. Sure, I would’ve prefered a 16MB cache, but those jump up in price a fair bit. This little guy should be nice and speedy for the OS and core applications. I’m still debating whether to pick up another one for RAID 0 or maybe RAID 1. I’m also still shopping for a deal on 250-300 GB SATA 3Gb/s to do the heavy lifting.
