The new Seagate 7200.11 series are very good in performance. To me, I rather go for that than a Raptor.

i think maxtor and WD was very good, cos that's the brand that i used before, and none of these brand HDD die on me, even >10 year old WD hdd below 1gb still serving me well
i just grab a raptor and it was fast. will continue to support WD , and probably when WD finish setup their new plant in penang, i might find a job there.  |
