I've heard of people having trouble with their Western Digital drives,
but I have had none, I've also extensively used Seagate, Maxtor and
Western Digital drives, all just fine. At the
price/storage/performance ratio of these drives, I would have to say
that Western Digital drives take an edge over the others (for
ATA-1x0), for S-ATA, I've no much experience with them... I have one
Seagate 120Gb S-ATA 150 drive working just fine.
- From other computers I've used, seems like Samsung drives are bit
slower than Seagates and Maxtors, and the fastest drives I've used had
been ATA-133 Maxtors (even beating S-ATA 150 Seagate drives), however
the one I own is ATA-100, so I can't comment much on that... Sadly
down here in Mexico the prices are a bit steep and I usually buy
Western Digital due to storage/performance/price ratio.
I haven't
yet decided what HD to buy, I see good prices on 320G
drives, but I'm tempted to stay with my usual plan and install
two drives, maybe two 160G drives. I'm especially interested in
finding out if there are particular brands to avoid, and of
course I'd like to know the recommended brands.
For HDs there are two I would reccomend. The first being Seagate,
and they probably have the upper hand at the moment with thier
newer drives and the price per storage(750 GB for 450 dollars aint
bad;) The other I would reccomend is Hitachi.
Those are the two brands I use in all of my machines on any regular
basis. Once in a while I might get Maxtor or someone like that if
I am just backing stuff onto it, pulling it out and not touching it
again;)
