[QUOTE="kaidomac, post: 178687, member: 15110"] I think it just depends on the year you get your drive. I've heard a few people say today's Maxtor's are good. I had good reliability with all of my 40-gig Maxtors, but the noise was incredible. Now they're supposed to be fairly decent. It would be interesting to try out an SATA enclosure. AMS makes a Venus model that supports SATA drives, although it's only USB 2.0 (no Firewire): [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817145660[/url] Anyone care to pick up one of those and a WD Raptor and tell us how it goes? :D [/QUOTE]
