Scarecrow Man Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 I like WD. It's what I used for my XBOX. (I should add that it is VERY loud) but that Maxtor drive looks very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prctr Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 I have had considerably more luck with Maxtor than with WD. For what its worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djohn Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 I use Maxtor drives [internal] and they are whisper quiet. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted December 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 But 8in1 and USB hub is appealing :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvw Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Again.....I use tool-free enclosures. Get any size hard drive you want, as many as you want, and you can swop them around at will. To open the enclosure takes 5 seconds and to swop drives about 2 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
