I have 2 hard drives that I want to install in my PC as a
slave, but I don't know which one of them is better. Help
me to choose between these two.
Sizes are the same 4.3GB
What about these: CYL, HD, Sect, and LBA - better bigger
numbers?

If both hard drive are the same size, are they the same speed (3600rpm, 5200rpm, 7200rpm, etc.)? If one of them has a faster speed, I go with that.

If you can find the manufacturer of the hard drives, that'll help your decision. Look on the bottom of the drives and look at the label (if there's one). As for the info you provided, I can't remember too well, but I believe that the more cyclinders the hard drive has, it's better. I don't know for sure. I would Google it to make sure.
