Scarecrow Man Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 I am looking into purchasing a new harddrive, and I was wondering what everyone would recomend.I'm looking a basic drive, 7200 or 5400 nothing fancy. Just a plain ATA . Not SATA or SCSI please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moon Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Whatever it is, go for the speed. I've never had a problem with Seagates, but then I've only had experience of seven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trackrat Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Always use Maxtor and never had a problem.Also used Excelstor and that was OK as well and cheaper than Maxtor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 I've probably installed over 100 Maxtor drives and never had a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurdy Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 I like Maxtor.My most recent was 120gb, 7200 with 8mb of cache. It's been solid so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
