Thread: The choice of hard disk drive and DVD +-RW

There is a fairly old systemic based on the Athlon XP + 2700. Motherboard Epox 8KRa2I <VIA KT600> hard-disk IDE Seagate Barracuda ST 380011A 80Gb. I want to replace the screw to a new, as there are fears that he may soon be covered.
Advise how to screw in its place, and perhaps even want to get an external hard drive to Back Up, as well as writing the drive to DVD (also need a board). The computer is used as a home station (Ineta, office, game 2003-2006 years, home photos and video).

Once your home photos and video, it probably can be a little HDD I have to use backup, Problems were not.

And as the new screws things with the speed of access? The processor on my old and weak to date (2009), so I do not know how it will work in conjunction with an Athlon XP 2700 +, may make sense to drive a small amount? Or it does not matter?

As far as I understand, the speed of the HHD in your case does not play a big role because you plan to use the computer as a media repository, for the same reason; there is no sense in a small volume HDD (not many can keep). And do not think that your processor is noticeably affecting the speed of HDD. Less than a Serial ATA will not be, but this is quite enough for your purposes.
