Which harddisk to choose?
 

I'm considering buying a new Harddisk since my current one is silently dying (old maxtor 40gb).

Which of these 3 brands can you recommend?

WD
but check warranty, the more the merier

WD

i concur:
Western Digital, definately

very positive on the speeds, durability, sound production ...

vote/poll +1

seagate, also reliable, but also silent.

did you get my mail?
did you receive your WD ?

Ordered me a nice WD 120gb with 8meg cache.
/me is happy

Price/service/rma - and return warranty turn around time: WD beats them all.

The worst IBM or now Hitachi Global.

Seagate is the one for me.

WD has this very high pitched noise that drives me nuts. But it's above the hearing range for most people (sucks for me).

Maxtor is close second best, if price is a higher concern.

Seagate is quiet, reliable, just not as fast as the rest. But it comes close enough.
