I prefer, for IDE or SATA, Seagate, IBM, and Maxtor....in that order. I have no use for Western Digital.

Currently i'm using two WD. These were tree years ago tested as best, except for the noise. Has been "on" for 24/7/365. Never a problem, which i can't say for the bunch of seagates and Ibm's that were hooked on my workstation.

For what it's worth, I've had good luck with IBM drives; terrible luck with Western Digital, both at home and at work (while I was still working.) I guess my employers found a deal on WD, but I think they probably came out worse, ulitmately. No recent experience with Seagate, but long-time-ago experience was not good. OTOH, it _was_ a long time ago. --doug -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus. Version: 7.0.308 / Virus Database: 266.9.3 - Release Date: 4/5/2005
