[QUOTE="SuB8HaVeN, post: 252903, member: 20214"] In my own personal experience, Seagate drives by far outlive Maxtor and Western Digital drives combined. Any computer I ever purchase; the first thing I do is tear out the hard drive and see what brand it is. If it's not Seagate it gets swapped. Your data is your most important component of your computer, so you should put it on a drive that is renowned for its reliability. In servers, laptops, desktops, workstations, etc, I swear by Seagate drives. I like Maxtor but I haven't had the best experiences with them. Western Digital's reliability is sorry if you ask me. I'm an IT manager and we order all Dell and I can't even count how many WD drives I've replaced in my time. And BTW, it was Seagate that bought out Maxtor. I run a Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 300GB 16MB SATA2 in my PC rig and it's an awesome drive. Seagate also has their latest Barracuda 7200.10 with perpendicular recording technology. The prices on both are very competitive, but I always take reliability first, then price. [/QUOTE]
