^^ ditto that. Currently have 3 120Gb diamond-max 9's and they're splendid.

1 x 20gig, 1 x 40gig, 1 x 60gig & 3 x 120gig Maxtor drives over that last 3-4 years and NEVER had a problem.

My 1.6gig Western Digital died after about 18 months (a long time ago) and I have stuck with Maxtor ever since.

Another maxtor lover here, I've got 6 big ones in my server and 3 in my main pc. Great drives imo m8

Maxtor all the way (with Seagate a close 2nd)

[andyinlondon]

agree with everyone above maxtor is deffo first choice.
seagate second
ibm/hitachi third
then it is a toss up between samsung or western digital.......... probly samsung
with western digital as last choice.
(nb if you do have to deal with western digital always set them to cable select not master or slave)

and last and never to be fitted are fugitsu they r the worst ever.

if your using the drive to run your OS, then try going for a drive with 8mb cache... noticeable difference

ebuyer.com is the cheapest

Maxtor 300gb ebuyer.co.uk or aria.co.uk less than £100 xD
