Hitachi 0A38016 1 TB SATA II 16 MB92 bux
Western Digital 10EACS 1 TB SATA II 98 bux
Both carry 3 year warranty. I've got bad feelings about hitachi due to past
experience with just one drive. I'm buying two of these which means I could
save a whopping 12 bux, what does the list think?
We've always found the Hitachi's to be the superior drive, since the
days they were IBM. Usually costing a bit more though, which makes
sense. Most of ours are upgraded before they fail.

drive? BTW, I won't be RAIDing the drives so the WD will still be ok
Good info Betty, thanks. It's hard to keep track of who is actually making
hardware these days and I'll be the first to admit my bad feelings about
hitachi are not founded in any real facts. To be honest I'm not worried
about recovery as 1 of these drives is the main and the other a mirror,
After buying many drives for servers, I find WD's to generally be the
most cost effective and reliable and a good company to work with always.
I most always buy thu newegg and alway try to buy WD 7200 rpm, large
cache models with a 5 yr. warranty and if not that, the 3 yr. warranty
models.
I buy Seagate drives--their top ones; haven't been disappointed. Our PM
6100 ca. 1994 has one in it that sounds like an airplane warming up, but
still works after 14 years--lasted longer than most dogs. However, I'm
considering a Hitachi 500GB for my MacBook. I've only had one other

As far as hard drives this is true. Fujitsu and Maxtor were well
considered back in the day and Seagate was vilified, but Seagate
has gotten a lot better and has an excellent warranty.
I know Western Digital gets good
Not exactly.
1.5 TB drives are starting to really make a push and I have seen
prices dropping on 1 TB drives.
I have seen 500GB laptop drives really coming on presently. My
wife's new laptop came with a 250 GB while mine came with a 120 GB

Looked at upgrading mine and

Yeah, but you have to figure that the more moving parts you've
got would tend to compromise reliability unless the technology
were really improved.
My feeling is that we're not going to see a real
I have not read enough lately but I think they achieved the increase
in capacity not by changing the physical structure but in how it is
written and read.
But yes the SSD is the new wave and I think will become the new standard.
The increase in size will just take time. I think when we start

Yes, it would appear so if they can do it on two platters within a
standard form factor.
Amazing technology.
