Title: need some hard drives
Post by: videoholic on August 01, 2007, 04:45:18 AM

I want to buy (3) 750gb Sata drives.

Is there a more reliable brand to go with?  WD? Seagate?

I\'ve always gone with Seagate, never had a problem with them. Got a 80gig hd ATA thats friggen old in my ps2, still going.
Using 2 320gig SATA II drives atm, both working in tip top shape.

Go seagate, Western Digital is also a great brand. Although that was when i used to check them for faults.


3 750gb hds.. Thats a lot of porn!!

You can\'t go wrong with either.  I think Seagate has the better warranty, so I\'d go with them as well.

Edit system is a storage whore.  I have a terrabyte now and I am always fighting with going below 200 gig available.  

I guess I\'ll just go with the best deal if they are both reliable.  I\'ve had both as well and I think I have ony had one failure in my life and it was an external seagate drive.

I currently have a SG and a WD. The SG is going on four years old and still works great. I\'d the say the WD is around a year old.. Before that, my previous system was all SG drives - never had a problem.

With that said, my system I am building now, will have the two HD\'s I just mentioned, plus two more SG drives.

So, I guess I am a SG whore.
