have used Fujitsu, western Digital ,Quantum , Maxtor.....

haven't had any probs with any of em.. but i really liked the Quantum fireball i had

Seagate I suppose. But it really depends on,
1. luck
2. how gentle you use the hard disk (i.e. hard disk are not meant to be moved!!!)
3. how good your power supply unit is (i.e. how "clean" the 5V/12V voltages are...and how stable they are)
4. the operating temperature... (i.e. lower the better)

adding a cooling fan helps...it lowered my HDD's temp by 10C!!! i was amazed.. (temps were read from SMART)

Quantum was the BEST one.. but i think some other company took it and now its going in another name.. Maxtor or like that.. not sure the name

Maxtor is the company who bought the Quantum Manufacturers. Yeah Quantum HDs were really good.

If you use better brand is not probleam

Maxtor bought Quantum, Seagate bought Maxtor

Now we see how Seagate increases its market share, eh?

Yes that is correct. I have added a Heatsink addition to the cooling Fan. Now my HDD is real cool.

Yeah, they are cheap as well....

 

[navin2]

Maxtor

[ereshthush]

dont think about the brand

 

[raac]

Hitathi

 

[milindasenarath]

SAMSUNG

 

[nagaya]

Seagate is the best,Quantum Fireball was also good,but IMHO I HATE MAXTOR,though i have my very old Seagate HDDs yet i lost my valuable data on 2 Maxtor 40GB HDDs earlier,
So i burn all stuff to DVDs for backup(Now i have about ~150discs)
But I found hard to find a new Seagate HDD,so now i also have Hitachi 250GB on file server

 

[Gavindu]

Maxtor is too bad ,,,, but WDigital is the best .... Sad to say we can't find any good HDD in sri lanka,,, all HDDs from china our people bring all the stuff to SL and assemble it here,,,, Compare ur OLD HDD and a new HDD u buy from the market ... see the different .....

 

[prasadana2]
