Hi,
Am starting to get curious on how much I can get out of the DB, so now looking at getting a HDD...
I've read the threads and found the following recommendations:
2.5" size
IDE (not SATA)
capacity unlimited?
- any limits on what DB will accept or will fit in DB?
Want the slowest rpm harddisk as is quieter, I've read.
- So that means 5400rpm rather than 7200rpm (are there any slower than 5400rpm)
- Speed (12ms, 12.5ms etc) - don't now if important?
- Cache size (have seen 2MB, 8MB etc) - don't know if important?
- Regarding manufacturer, are there any brands that should be avoided or recommended
e.g. Seagate, Western Digital, Toshiba, Hitachi etc.
Any help appreciated.
