Technology Metro

As the days and months passes by, there is always some innovation be it in an existing technology or a totally new one. Well, about a decade ago, I had a PC that had a 100MB Hard Drive. At that time, I thought it was a huge space (we used 1.44 Floppy Drive). When you think of it now, it is a really low space. Back then, a game would fit in a couple of floppy drives and now it has started to even outgrow DVD drive’s space. A couple of years back, I got a new PC and it had an 80GB PATA Hard Drive, I thought that was more than enough space but now that hard drive is full and even my Laptop’s hard drive is about to reach its limits (160GB). I will be buying a new internal hard drive for my desktop soon.

Well, here is a great deal on an internal hard drive. Fry.com has a Maxtor 500GB Serial ATA Internal Hard Drive for just $90. It is a great deal if you consider the space and the speed of the Maxtor Serial ATA Internal Hard Drive. Here are some of the features included in the Maxtor Serial ATA Internal Hard Drive:
