Westerndigital is better. They are more quiet, and faster with 12K RPM. Thread over.

Also, Sage.

I've got one of those WD 2500KS 250 GB drives, and it works plenty fast and quiet, esp. given the price. Design's a bit long in the tooth tho, so the sooner their AA revisions hit the market the better off they'll be (assuming they're good!)

Hitachi seems to be on their way back - slowly - after the Deathstar 75GXP debacle. Cranking out (reliable) 1 TB drives is a good start.

Seagate had some winners in the Barracuda IV and 7200.7, but acoustics started taking a back seat to low price -- don't get me wrong, the 7200.10 drives are great performers, but they are noticeably noisier than the 2500KS, for example.

"Deathstar" is an accurate moniker. All three I've ever owned have failed. I've had one crash an burn without warning, one begin to slowly die, and a third that took the rest of the computer down with it, as well as a spare machine I installed it in to try to recover data from the drive. None of them lasted more than a couple years.

maxtor fails since they were infected by quantum, anything deathstar related is epic fail, seagate and wd ftw.

hmmm.. i really cannot give my judgment as some of you have different experiences (actual)

as for me, i never really had any of my hard drives die... except for my 80GB maxtor that got a few bad sectors but that is just it. i have been using maxtor since it is cooler than your regular seagate (around 10 degrees, i measure them while doing a long data migration process). but despite seagate being hotter, it still works fine. been using these babies for 4 years now and still no bad sectors (probably because i maintain them, defrag, chkdsk)

just recently bought a western digital 400gb and like what the reviews say, they are more quiet and cooler. data transfer is faster but not really that noticable (unless you benchmark)

bottomline: perform maintenance if you want your devices to last long.
