Hello guys
I'm trying to purchase second internal HD for my dual 2.7GHZ - probably around 250 GB( maybe more) I kind of did my research and everybody is talking about eighter Maxtor,Seagate or Western Digital. So my question is - does anybody have any recommendation as far as the brand and type ? My first HD is Western Digital.Does it need to be same or it does not matter? I would appreciate any answers. Thanks for your time. Milan |

I've got a Seagate internal SATA hard drive, and it works great. It's 250G, and I use a PowerMac G5 2.5GHz Quad.

On the reliability issue, it's difficult to say.
On the noise issue, it's Seagate the winner. Anyway, always check the tech docs on the manufacturer website for MTBF and noise idle/writing. It's enlightening. Now for some peculiar uses, some maxtor (for small files, usually not our case) or western digital (very very fast RAID 0 with raptor drives) are more interesting. It doesn't mean other or one brand or the other won't work, but it's the current state of things. I have a mix of IBM (ooch old), Maxtor and seagate drives. -------------------- Our Classifeds • Nos petites annonces • Terms Of Service / Conditions d'Utilisation • Forum Rules / Règles des Forums • MacMusic.Org & SETI@Home
