My current HDD is on its last legs and during my online search for a replacement i've encountered many negative reviews.If you can comment on the following drives :
Maxtor 40GB & 80GB came out the worsed many being broken on delivery and a lot only lasting 2 weeks after installation.From the UK they then must be sent to Germany for attention.
Western Digital Caviar 40 & 80GB were not as bad but still alot gave up the ghost after a few months,i heard they are also noisey.Returns have to go to Eire.
Seagate Barracuda 9 seem to be the most reliable and the quietest.
All these drives cost £40 - £50 mail order in the UK.
