RIP sweet hard drive, you were so good to me
I'm on our laptop struggling to get used to the itty bitty touch pad cause hubby took the mouse to work with them. The hard drive on my desktop computer has being sick for quite a while and finally it took its last breath and turned into an expensive doorstop.
I'll be buying a new one just as soon as we get paid, but does anyone have any advice when it comes to shopping for a hard drive. The one I had was 30GB and besides wanting one that is bigger, I really don't know much about it. My brother had me run this Linux utility on the doorstop to make sure that it was the hard drive that was dead and not the RAM and so far all signs point to the hard drive.
SOooooo all of you computer savvy people:
How much cache should I look for? What about RPM? What about brand name?

thanks bunches
