Q Which is the best harddisk for quality and reliability now? What is the best size for the price now? I will be using the harddisk as a second harddisk to store files with huge size. Will the type of harddisk affect how fast I load those big files?

Hello there,well personally I think that Western Digital Hard Disks has a better rep than Seagate as the recent firmware problems has randomly shut down many 1 TB HDD's and corrupting the data in it and me myself has a problematic 250GB Seagate Drive.So I opted for WD HDD instead and has been satisfied with its performance till date


Q As for DVD, which is the best brand for quality and price? I'll be using the DVD to burn video to be played on the DVD player to watch on TV. Which is the best brand/type of DVD for that purpose? Buying in big bundle will be cheaper?

i used LG and have been using it since June 07 and up till now no problem =),What do you mean buying in bundle ? Theoretically it should be but it depends on the seller laugh.gif


Q I might be buying DVD RW to store certain files as well, which is the best brand for DVD RW? How many times can I rewrite those DVD RW?

There are no certain number of limits that you need to follow.As for me personally I think that rather than having to burn the data many times on a piece of DVD.Now just picture the DVD-RW disks is like a tyre..after lotsa use,it'll be worn out rite ? IMHO its better to store in a 2.5 HDD since you mentioned constant rewriting of data.Its better and faster to use a cheap external drive
