Really freakin' big hard drive, $200, no rebates

[Colin F]

I just ordered a 160Gb Seagate, EIDE, 7200 rpm, 8mb.

I've heard good things about Seagate drives being silent, which was important for me.

In house we use WD Seagate (SCSI's) and IBM Drives for the IBM laptops and they all work relitively well.

The IBM HDD in my G4 at work died horribly, at which point it was removed, and then "disassembled with extreme force." I had a Western Digital die on me, but I think it was a power surge, not the drive itself.

But, each to his own experiences, of course. I've heard people say Maxor is junk and WD is the best, and exactly the opposite.

I've had nothing but good expirece with their laptops in general, Considering ive been working with them for over 5 years in differnt companys, they do a great job.

I have 2 WDs in my computer right now and they are both running great (a 160 GB and a 250 GB).

:shrug:

It's not so much that the drives failed that gets me, it's the pissy customer service I got (or lack thereof).
