    Maxtor and Seagate are my preferred manufacturers and this opinion is very widely shared. They're fast, reliable and good value for money.

    I have a 160GB Maxtor and it's great, along with my 60GB Seagate.

    I've just bought a 120GB Seagate for my server, the only reason I didn't buy a Maxtor is because Seagate drives are some of the quietest around
