Re: hard drive help
Don't go for Western Digital Maxtor.
Western Digital hard disks are more prone to faults.
U may opt for Samsung or Seagate.
I was told this by a Hard Disk Recovery Centre personnel.

He must be talking about laptop hard disk. It's expensive than normal desktop hard disks.

Re: hard drive help
Western Digital.
Seagate is good, but when you buy...double check if there is any unnecessary sound coming from the HD while working...

Re: hard drive help
U can go for Hitachi 250 Gb SATA2 for 2.5k. Its better than Seagate or Samsung, nd has greater value for money.
