250-300gb is the sweet spot in price with 250gb going for 100-110 and 300gb going for 130-140
250gb = ~2.5g/$1
300gb = ~2.3g/$1
400gb = ~1.9g/$1
500gb = ~1.4g/$1
these are based on newegg pricing
i like the seagate because of the 5 year warranty but i have killed a seagate 250 and seagate 300 in the last year. still i find them more reliable than the competition and i dont get a factory reconditioned unit when i RMA a drive, unlike some companies (maxtor and maybe others).
ive found that if i add a hdd cooler ~10-25 depending on style/brand/etc that i prolong the life of the drive.Comment

I had two 120GB Western Digitals and I was happy. I got a good deal on two 200GB Maxtors and I'm not as happy. They make that grinding noise while doing something. How stupid is that?

Mine was the total opposite, every WD I had died on the month after the warranty expired. I have about 10 maxtors, some older than my grandmother and filled to the rim and still running smoothly *better not curse myself now* (keeps fingers crossed)Originally posted by Big Fish 47

Doesn't really matter if you get a Seagate, Western Digital, Maxtor, etc.... Everyone has had bad experiences with one of them at one point (the only 2 seagates that I have bought were both DOA). As far as drive specs, 16MB models are going to be faster than the 8MB models. Sata is going to have a faster thoroughput IDE. Besides that, just go with what gets you the most GB vs. $.
On a side note, I would recommend taking a look at the new Hitachi drives.

western digital all the way! although it's all subjective, one thing is for sure, if a drive is to fail, it'll fail fast. I mean, crash test it for a few days when you buy it, if it's ok, chances are it'll stay ok.Comment

SATA II is twice as fast as SATA in terms of thoroughput and available transfer rate (3GB/sec). So if you are looking for something that will transfer large amounts of data faster, then yes SATA II is better. However, keep in mind that your motherboard has to be SATA II compatible to take advantage of this.Originally posted by clickclickclickLast edited by EdgeXXX; 02-06-2006, 02:19 PM..
