Looking for a CHEAP SATA HD

Doesn't need to be any bigger than 120 gb, I just need it to mount Windows and my programs. Thanks!

) is there a way to check other than looking at the physical drive out of the computer?

SATA at 150 MB/* is way past any hard drive'* transfer rate. With 4 drives in RAID 5, I got a peak transfer rate of 260MB/*. Also, I have a 120GB Seagate to sell you. I'll let you know the SN, MN, and whatever else so you can check the remaining warranty on it.

Modern hardrives can get ~100MB/* individually. Thou 260MB/* for a four drive raid 5 is pretty dang good!
