Just wondering what hard drive would be the better choice of the 2. I'm looking at either the 120 gig Seagate 7200.7 or the 120 gig maxtor w/8 meg cache. The specs on both are very similar. Oh yeah, I'm looking at the SATA models of both drives. Any input would be appreciated!![]()

Yes the IDE HD insustry std moved to just 1 year! WD's 7200rpm 8MB HD's are generally the exception and the biggest reason for buying their noisy non-FDB based HDs. I agree as a general rule WD are fastest with Maxtor close behind (but much quieter esp Ac Man) and Seagate offering quiet operation for a minimal perf hit. ALl Maxtor HDs have used FDB for quite a while now so I'd also rec them unless you want a 3 year warranty. The Maxtor SATA150 HD is a top drive; quiet, fast, reliable (so far) and also sport a classic power connector too! TBH though diffs really aren't that huge, many people don't even notice much diff when they upgrade their HD but then it depends on what they had before.
