Samsung SpinPoint p80 range
3 years waranty, quiet and run very cool
Samsung or Seagate (now that they've gone to 5 year warranty)
I personally would try a Maxtor, I've never had a problem, good performance for your pound:

I'll second the Maxtor vote. Put one in my PC 3 months ago and it has been great: fast, quiet and cheap. Having said that, I'm sure the others mentioned will do the job just as well.

Just got a Maxtor 200GB and it's pretty good. I'm a long time Seagate user too. Their drives are good and in the event that one does fail their RMA support is fantastic. I've also heard good things about the Samsung Spinpoint drives...

Having 5 WD JBs I can vote for them i think that only the maxtors are ATA133 all the others are ATA100 but it doesnt matter as all 7200rpm drives max out at ~80.

Samsungs are ata 133 or sata 150Originally Posted by GAteKeeper

A friend of mine (mojo) had 2 maxtors die on him on the weekend not that it should affect your decision.

I like Seagate - I find them reliable, and they have a five year warranty.
"Well, there was your Uncle Tiberius who died wrapped in cabbage leaves but we assumed that was a freak accident."
What ever you do, don't buy maxtor, you will regret it !
I'm with Buff and Mike_w, Seagate make excellent drives, quiet and very reliable - with the added bonus of a 5 year warranty.
seagate! enough said!
