Anyone in the UK selling SATA-II HDD's?
Hey guys 
Just wondering if there's any individuals or companies in the UK who wanna get rid of some SATA-II HDD's? My desktop HDD broke on me a few days ago and I'm in need of a replacement.
If at all possible, I'd like to purchase 2 HDD's, so then I can set them up in RAID1.
Sizes no smaller than 250gb, no larger than 1tb please.
Cheers

Got some that I'm looking at on eBay, but they're not ending for some time.
eBay can be a pain though, considering prices, brands, UK only, size, feedback, auction end-time, delivery etc... would probably be more likely to find what I'm looking for here
If only I had a spare £65..
Managed to find 2x WD Caviar 250GB 7200RPM's on eBay for just under £55. Really tight on money though, need to spend as little as possible!
Green drives are really bad, The whole point is useless if you need a fast system. They eventually stop spinning and it takes a few seconds for them to fully spin up again.
HD103UJ or HD103SJ, The SJ are really good drives spinpoint F3's on par with WD Blacks performance.
+1 Green drives are crap for performance.
Well, for a desktop system they are quite nice.
