max hard disk for AJR - which model do you recommnd?
« on: October 25, 2006, 05:38:35 PM »
I own 2 Archos Jukebox Recorder, one with 80GB harddisc the other one with an 120GBdisk, both from Samsung. I now need to upgrade the 80GB model to keep up with my growing collection. I know (read) about the 137 GB limit and I would like to know what HD (manufacturer and model) you would recommend in order to get max size and the best value for money? I cannot find 140 GB 2.5"  and with 120GB I do not have the maximum space possible. 160 GB disks cost almost twice the price of a 120 gb model and 140 GB ones  I cannot find on the market. What would you recommend?

120 is going to be the largest you can get for value.  Past that, they usually use perpendicular recording which costs much more (selling price).  It is only a loss of 7 gigs really (depends on how you define a gig).  Not that bad.  I would only suggest getting a 160 if you can find one for really cheap or have a very good deal and don't mind missing out on a few gigs like I did.
