My quest to build a brand-new Windows dream machine for 2001 continues. This week, I’m focusing on storage components. I’ve got 2001 TechPoints to exchange for your opinions about the state-of-the-art in IDE controllers and drives. (Sorry, SCSI fans–I’ve ruled out that option as too pricey.) I’d like the fastest, most reliable storage possible, without sacrificing Windows compatibility or expandability. Want to earn the points? Share your personal experiences and include links to any products you recommend or any information you’ve found. The more details you provide, the more likely I am to select your post for publication in an upcoming Microsoft Challenge column.
