Seagate, Maxtor or WD?

Mr E

I need to get a new HD. Out of the 3 200gb drives on Komplett, which brand do you recommend?

Maxtor DiamondMax 10 200GB IDE ATA/133 8MB cache 7200RPM

Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 200GB IDE ATA/100 8MB cache 7200RPM
http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.asp?sku=123995&cks=PRL

Western Digital Caviar 200GB IDE ATA/100 8MB cache 7200RPM

Thanks in advance,
Dave.

I ordered the WD one myself on Wednesday so that's where my allegiance lies. I'm not a fan of Maxtor - had too many bad experiences with them in the past (even though I hear they're more reliable these days). Seagate are a decent brand as well.

Maxtor DiamondMax 10 just came through my front door, all of them are reliable solid HDs tho. much of muchness

Mr E

Thanks for the feedback, guys.

Seagate are the most reliable disks I ever came across. Maxtor have a tendency to go pop.

whatever has the longest warrenty and isn't maxtor :P

i.e. get those S-ATA drives with 5 year warrenties if you can.
