It should be as usually a SATA II is switchable to SATA I anyway and besides I don't think any current technology is using SATA II hardrive speeds at the moment. My switch made no difference so left it on the default 'I' setting.

Just found that - very similar price to eBay, as delivery is free.

Personally I wouldn't. I'd rather have somewhere I know I can send it back if something goes wrong like I've had happen with various components in the past

I need a new HDD because mine is extremely slow and noisy, making grinding noises. My mate at Uni who is a Mac Genius down Regent Street said I need a new HDD and this is tell-tale signs of it wearing out etc.

Question is, HDD's off eBay (that say they are brand new) are much cheaper than the likes of TekHeads and eBuyer.

Being a HDD, it's quite crucial that you get a reliable one, so that you don't lose all your work etc.

Would you guys buy off eBay? Or somewhere that will be supply better warranty?
