hey people. i'm currently in the market for a 120gb harddrive for storage. what this means is reliability is top priority. i've narrowed it down to these 2:
- Maxtor D540X
- Samsung SV1204H
both are 5400rpm, have a 2mb buffer, and have <12ms seek times. speed is not an issue. they're both priced about the same at around $130.
i know maxtor is more popular, so this review of the samsung should even the field a bit. they basically say it's a good value drive.
