RE: Looking for a Hard Drive
Like Seagate because they are innovative (WD is al well I guess) and Seagate has the bottom of the drive covered (innovation!) while other brands are open. Neither of them have died ever for me though the WD hiccupped couple of times. The Seagate is quieter and cooler by far.

Seagate's product range is more simple, sometimes two WD drives get confused as being the same thing. Fujitsu is also reasonable. The only dead disk I've ever had was a Maxtor but some people use them without problem.

I'd buy the Seagate drive (they even have cool names).

RE: Looking for a Hard Drive
Personally i prefer Seagate products, but atm im using a 320 GB WD WD3200JB disk. I've been using it since august. First i had a few problems with blue screens, but im not sure if those were occured due to HDD (it might have been Radeon 9700).

I love the low acoustic of this WD drive. ^^

O.P. RE: Looking for a Hard Drive
honestly, thats the cheapest you'll ever find for a drive anywhere here.
comparison:
http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTool...=3227029&CatId=523
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822144408
http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?l...0FS10035171&catid=
- only 250 GB, but almost twice as much

RE: Looking for a Hard Drive
That price seems reasonable. By under 100 AUD do you mean 96 AUD? 96 AUD is MSY's price and they are apparently the one of the cheapest in Sydney (they are cheaper than my local stores - 113.30 AUD - but I've just never been to MSY, too far to go for just one or two things).

I meant A$97 at my local computer shop.
