They are good but not the newest. WD has the Caviar SE16 and RE2, Seagate has the 7200.10 series...what else is available in Brazil?

Seagate ones are really nice actually, I found mine to be quite reliable. Not that i'm against WD per se, but an extra 2 years on a warranty is reason enough for me.

I'm getting it off newegg. And has to be ATA.

Not many options.

I'd go with the Seagate 7200.10 series personally. As mentioned before, a couple of extra years warranty and less moving parts for better lifetime.

Have a few samsung drives, PATA and SATA varying sizes, there cheap and perform very well never had a prob except things I caused myself. I do have one Western Digital WD1200 I think, it started to run very slooow, and the problem was it decided it did not like being on the same channel as any other drive - so I put it in me PS2

Thanks for your input, guys. Maybe I'll go with Seagate after all. I didn't like the reviews though.

Cheers
