Hi Peoples,
Has anyone seen any performance benchmarks comparing the
Western Digital WB1200JB (120GB, 7200rpm, 8MB Cache ATA-100)
verses
Seagate ST3120024A (120GB, 7200rpm, 8MB Cache, ATA-100)
Hunting around the web here in Australia I've found
WB1200JB $375.00
ST3120024A $322.00
Both have 3 year warranties also?
Thanks
Burn
PS. I "think" I saw a post here once about 'price searching' - that is web
price crawlers like www.tomshardware.com - has anyone seen an equivalent here
in Australia? How would they work? I suppose in a worst case one could
generate a utility to grab price lists off the web, put them into a
'standard' dumb form and provide an engine to access it. Would this be a
breach of the retailer's copyright - providing a secondary indirect path to
information stored on their site?
