HDD: Seagate SATA II HDD 250 GB
Over the last few years the cost of hard drives have dropped drastically. Hard drives currently available offer an excellent cost advantage if you compare the cost of the drive vs. its storage.
Here we had to decide between Seagate and Western Digital. We chose to go with Seagate due to the excellent 5 year warranty they offer. The 250 GB we have, is built on the SATA II platform and offers more than adequate storage for all your music and video needs. With its price now under Rs. 3,000 the drive is now a great bargain.
Optical Drive: Asus DRW-1608P3S 16X DVD Writer
We carry forward this drive from our previous roundup as it remains amongst the best choices available at this price range.
This drive is an OEM product of Pioneer’s 111L drive and offers great compatibility with all kinds of DVD media which can be burnt easily at 16x without quality issues. The drive is also capable of writing to DL media, which can hold more data than any other media solution that is currently available. Pioneer also has some of the best read speeds of any DVD drive and can be easily converted to a region free drive, which will allow you to view any kind of DVD movie without any issue.
