So my wife and I have this 6 year old computer. Recently I changed the motherboard for an Asus M3A78 with a AMD 64x2 and a 4000HD series Radeon graphics card. Nothing awesome or expensive, but I know I still need an updated hard disk. I'm running the original IDE and I'm just waiting for it to give out on me. My motherboard supports this newfangled SATA stuff (that was fun to say!) and I want to utilize it. My storage requirements are not huge (what's a terabyte?). Longevity and reliability are my primary concerns, with speed secondary, and cost umm tertiary!
Also, after I decide what to buy, I really need some advice on how to go about transferring, copying, or imaging the old drive. Can't say I've ever done it before and I'm a little nervous.
I'm open to all informed opinions so let me know what you think.
