Hardware recomendations
I've gotten my hands on a motherboard and CPU that is a step-up from my current, but my IDE hard drive won't be able to connect to the motherboard due to lack of an IDE input.
So I need help on looking for either:
1: A new SATA HDD or SSD that is very reliable, 30GB minimum for a SSD and whatever for a HDD since those are cheap these days to begin with and this new device would be my OS drive.
2: A IDE to SATA converter with excellent read-write speeds.
I'm leaning toward option 1, but still looking at both possibilities for which route to take here, my price limit is $50 and I've been looking at refurbished WD HDDs, but I know it's a gamble. Can anyone point me in the right direction and suggest appropriate hardware?
Thanks.
