Caps off.

U cud go for a Seagate or Maxtor drive. I'm not a resident of Delhi so I cannot give u any prices. But in hard disks these r recommended.

actually sata drives cost around 2800 nd baracudas costs around 2300 for 80 gb ones
My choice is Western Digital 120 gb 7200 rpm one.Its fast nd very silent.It also runs cooler

u shud not buy a segeate drive as the new segeate drive's hav lot of problem , the hard disks make noise and often hang and develop bad sectors too, this is not problem with one segeate hard disk i have seen abt 6 new segeate hard disks having this problen ..this includes my hard disk too. i had never bought any other brand other than segeate but the latest experience was not good . so i suggest u buy either western digital , maxtor os samsung . my segeate hdd is still in warrenty and i am selling it to buy a western digital hdd to prevent any data loss.

maybe u got a bad piece of hardware, but I ve had good experience with all my seagate drivers so far....
dont forget they are the largest sellers of HDDs in the world and u can't just make a generalized statement like that!

Go for an Western Digital 120Gb 7200RPm (w 8MB), it really cool. If not Maxtor. Performance wise these are really good.
