I want to buy a new additional drive. I have always used Maxtor in the past. They seem a bit noisy, but reliability has been good so far. I also have used a Western Digital drive but it was even noisier than the Maxtors. Plus, the device I had it on burned out shortly after I installed it (maybe just a coincidence, but I don't know). Anyone care to recommend either of these or maybe some other brand?
I have been using seagate also both ide an sata for past couple years with no problems. Had a bad run with some western digital dirves so I switched to seagate. This past month I dropped in 4 maxtors in new server ( sata with a sata 3ware raid controller). Will be deploying that server this friday if all goes well an as plan may put it off for a week since my wife is going out of town with work all next week an want to speed some time with her. jack
