That's funny, I'm a network admin and have been in the business for 15 years now, and Seagate has always been one of the most reliable drives I have ever seen. In recent time the WD have been some of the worst for failures among what I would consider top tier drive makers.adv3rsary wrote:
no best brand... but as a computer tech.. most failed brand i see IS seagate.. so stay away from it...
Western digital is BY FAR the best harddrive brand, they are very high quality at low prices. I wouldn't buy any other brand for hdd's. if your going for speed you should try the WD Raptor it's a 10,000 rpm instead of the usual 7200CommieChipmunk wrote:
so I recently had my Seagate 160 GB hard drive fail on me. Not the greatest experience ever but I'm upgrading to vista so it's not all bad I guess. Now I'm looking for a new hard drive and I'm trying to find the "best brand" -- if one exists. In your experiences with hard drives, what brand has treated you the best? Links to newegg would be much appreciated
