I wish to know your opinion about choosing between Maxtor HDD or Western Digital HDD. ldfçlkçldfkçsfksfddskfçlsfdldsfrkçldskfçl

Both are good...just shop for your best price. Get 7200rpm, 8mb cache, ATA100 or ATA133 Asus A7N8X-X 1800+ @8x210mhz 512mb PC3200 Ti4200/8X 128mb WDC 60GB

I havent baught any drives untill lately, I baught a 80Gb 7200RPM 8Mb Cache Western Digital hard drive and I love it. It is very quiet and very quick. I was going to buy a Maxtor but it was a bit more expensive.

I would prefer WD over Maxtor. In my experience, WD runs queiter and and faster, plus i had one for like 5 years with out any troubles, but then one day decided to go bad. Maxtor's (to me) seem to run a lil bit noisy and do not seem to last as long. I went through three of them before my WD died. But i perfer Seagate, more dependible, and i have not seem many of them die over age. The one i have is nearly two years old and it's still running like the day that i bought it. You can be amused by the simplest of things. The smartest people in the world, over-look the smallest objects. War does not determine who is right, only who is left.

WD is way better as far as life span. I wouldn't buy anything else. In my small server I have a very old 6GB WD HD from 1997. Been runing non stop for the past 2 years. I can't beleave it. I have a 80GB WD in my gaming rig that I bought about this time last year. I also have a brand new sealed 200GB 7200RPM 8MB cache WD that I will sell you for a $100 USD.

Go with which ever has the best warranty right now.
