[Klug-general] Hard Drives

[Peter Childs]

My Linux Hard Disk has just failed..... Groan, not very much data
except OS on it so that will be easy to sort out...... (Looks like its
the Disk Controller thats failed not the disk as it works when it
feels like it) Its a SATA.....

Now need to get a new one, Whats the best way to go.

Speed Vs Size Vs Cost Vs Reliability....

meaning

SATA Vs PATA Vs USB Vs NAS

Also need to upgrade that machine upstairs running Myth on a 40Gig
Disk which only takes PATA (Not SATA)

Any suggestions which way to go?

Peter.
