Hard Drive Choices

Hard drives are used for storing your data. Mainly judged for their capacity measured in GB and now TB, with more being better. Seek Times, Spindle speeds, Cache size and Data Transfer Rates define how fast data is written and read from the disk. UKGC use Segate Barracuda "traditional" Drives as they are the most reliable and the incedibly fast Corsair Solid state drives as they again are very reliable and blisteringly quick!
