Western Digital for me
(bad experiences with Maxtor)

Seagate vote+1:super:

IBM is still the best performer though..
Ánd currently very well priced...

They had some problems with their deathstars (mine is now broken for the 3rd or 4yh time, I think it's time they give me a new model ffs

IBM is out, hitashi is in.
They do seem to do pretty well.
but the reputation is something else.

They'll always be IBM to me ;)


Reputation is on a low indeed, but competitive pricing & good performance will bring that back sometime...

(and then they'll the most expensive again prolly :))

Added IBM/Hitachi to poll;)

I still have one IBM/Hitachi SATA80; crossed my fingers.;)

What about Maxtor reliablity?

I've always been happy with Maxtor, but I heard that recentky they have alot of problems?

Anyone more info about this?

does anyone have experience with DimondMax10 200Gb drives?


What are the current warranty-times (in years) given on all harddisks?

I have 2x120gb Maxtor which are showing errors 1.5 year after purchage, warranty is only 1 year.. :(

24/7 usage?

(edited my previous post btw)
