Title: WANTED: Looking for a 500GB INTERNAL hard drive.
Post by: h4gg4rd on March 16, 2009, 10:46:52 AM

I already have an External HD Enclosure, it supports up to 500GB and I was wondering if anyone would want to sell me a 500GB hard drive..

Specs I am looking for:
-500GB
-Seagate or Western Digital would be nice
-e-SATA (what would a external be without SATA)
-7200rpm (I am not looking for any less.)
-32mb buffer (Preferred, but I can live with 16mb)

I am currently looking online for this drive too, so if I find one I will edit my post.

Doesn't the enclosure convert the SATA to E-SATA?  If that is the case any 500 Gb SATA drive would work.  Like this one.

Yes Rathe you are right. It does convert it to e-SATA. Also, that is the exact drive I am looking at too.. I am just scouting around for used ones so I can get away with spending less.

Doesn't look like there's much wiggle room out there for price on this one.
