xplatinum Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 We're talking IDE 7200RPM here, no SCSI or S-ATA. Imo Seagate would be the best... The worst brand award would go to IBM (hitachi).

samps Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 My last couple have been Western Digital and I can't fault them. Fantastic drives. WD got my vote.

j0sh Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 When I was taking the 2nd semester of CCNA, a guy in my class used to work for a company testing hard drives. He said that IBM's were the worse and Seagates were the best so far. WD were alright, but not the best. I switched to Seagate after my two WD started to tick :huh: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/133538-poll-best-hd-brand/#findComment-1623029 Share on other sites More sharing options...
V3L0C|7Y Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 For PCs I perfer WD, but for xbox I perfer Seagate because Seagates are quiet and cool running.

+Troll Subscriber¹ Posted January 20, 2004 Subscriber¹ Share Posted January 20, 2004 I like Western Digital...Never had a problem with any of them. Seagate I hear is great also. I don't really like Maxtor drives and have had terrible experience with IBM drives...

Fred Derf Veteran Posted January 20, 2004 Veteran Share Posted January 20, 2004 WD 8MB cache models have a 3 year warranty for about the same price as the Seagate 7200.7 series.

mtkversion Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Western Digital for me. I have 2 IBM Deskstars also that work, but one of them clicks all the time and has crashed on 2 occasions losing all the data, but it still works. I've had nothing but problems with Maxtor. Will never use one again. Never tried Seagate but might when I do need another ....

GTX Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Tough choice for me: Either Maxtor or Western Digital. I'm never tried Hitachi or Fujitsu, and I've had WAY to many problems with Seagate. But, I decided to vote Western Digital. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/133538-poll-best-hd-brand/#findComment-1623509 Share on other sites More sharing options...
