Maxtor or Western-Digital

[Chris]

Im gonna be taking back my HD this week or next and after 2 IBM drives not even lasting a year i wont be getting another!
The shop i got it from stock Western-Digital and Maxtor drives wich one should i go with?

 

[beezee]

go with western-digital... any drive with 8mb cache would be good. They are slightly more expensive, yet worth it!

 

[Chris]

yeah i think my wallet might stretch to paying £25 extra for 8Mb cache!

 

[Chris]

what about from a Overclocking point of view wich drive will hit the higher FSB?

 

[Johnny Knoxville]

which shop are you looking at?
i would go for the western digital 8mb cache, although the new maxtor diamondmax 9 series are supposed to be very good too

 

[Chris]

im looking at this shop here this is were my current drive is from and they take faulty stuff back and replace them with no probs

 

[Johnny Knoxville]

yeah that site is pretty good, i normally buy my stuff from komplett or dabs

I used to buy from dabs but they only accept credit cards now or they did last time i checked and nobody in trhe house owns one so they lost a customer

They're both good. You can't miss with either of them.

I have two WD's, one 60 and one 120, obviously and they are great. I had a quantum fireball from a HP for awhile and the wd's are awesome. They don't even hiccup. The 60 came with the comp and is a bit fragged, but it has no problems.
