I discovered I can buy a new IDE 160 GB Western Digital Hard Drive
for $83.00 plus shipping. I would like to replace this old 160 GB
with a new one. What method would you suggest for putting all the
stuff on the old hard drive on this new one? It seems that dd could
do it but I wonder how fast it would be?
Any experience will be appreciated.
Do a little more shopping at newegg.com and save a few bucks
Seagate 250 GB $69 + free shipping
Hitachi 250 GB $59 + free shipping
Sorry I have had real luck with Western Digital and only want that.
Nothing wrong with WD, just don't pay too much.
Newegg.com
Western Digital Caviar SE WD2500JB 250GB 7200 RPM IDE Ultra ATA100
Hard Drive - OEM $59.99 + 5.29 shipping
The 160GB WD is only $48.49 + 5.29 shipping.
WD has a 3 year warranty - Seagate has 5 years (accounts for the $10
price difference).

John
