A cheap harddrive that will run vista.

[Inferno]

I'm looking for a cheap hard drive at least 50gb and under 50 bucks (optimally 35 bucks since that is exactly how much money I have right now). This is so I can have vista on a separate drive on my gaming rig. Yes I know I could partition my main drive and put vista on that but I want Vista to stay away from my XP drive.
Here is what I've found

Tell me what you guys think I should get.

Also anyone know any good promo codes I could use to take off a couple of bucks?

edit-

hurf durf


Just get that drive and be happy with it!

[SnaFuBAR]

Is there something i'm not understanding about this thread?

[InnerGoat]

It was in the site feedback forum.

[SnaFuBAR]

i know, besides that, but the fact that he's asking for a hdd that will run vista :confused:

[StankBacon]

yah, that confused me too.

[Inferno]

I mean a drive that will have enough room and a high enough RPM. Any drive can have "run" vista I meant performance. *face palm*

I'm a noob to hardware.

edit-
BTW I'm only getting vista to play H2V. For some reason I seem to be the only person who enjoys the online play. I want to be able to play this on my computer and not on my vista craptop.

edit 2-
I believe that the title of this thread is confusing so let me re-write it.
A cheap harddrive to run vista on.

Yeah that will work perfectly just get it and be over with!

[Inferno]

I'm spending all of the cash I have left here so I want to make sure I'm getting the right thing you know. Just saying. I probably order tomorrow or sometime.

[Abdurahman]

If you want to double your space and go with 160gb you can for only 5 dollars more here.

Same Seagate Barracuda just more space. I hope this helped! This HD is more than adequate for vista or any game for that matter.

[Inferno]

If I can get another 5 I'll go with that. Although space is no issue I have a 80 Gig USB backup drive and a 120 gig PCI connected storage drive.

I don't need 250 gigs really. This is just for H2V what I'm looking for is better RPMs really.

[Xetsuei]

7.2k is standard, 5.4k is moderately slow. 10k is fast but will get you going around $150 for a 75gb hard drive. I guarantee you will notice next to no difference with a 10k drive over a 7.2k one. Might as well go with the one Lex1337 posted.

Would I be wrong in saying that just about any HDD can run Vista...? I mean, I have like, a 2 year old 80gb hard drive running Vista...

[Xetsuei]

Well, obviously you need one with over 20gb(?) of memory, but other than that...

[StankBacon]

home premium only uses like 7 gigs.

Also, if you're gunna be installing Vista just for simple things like games, I recommend creating a custom install with vLite - it'll save you a bit of space.

Alright. I really don't know to much when it comes to buying hardware and that why I put this up. I'll be ordering this as soon as my parents give me a thumbs up.
