I used 2Xseagate(pentium 1-1gb only,throw already and my current core2quad),1Xquantum(pentium 3-still using till now),1Xmaxtor(pentium 4- kena bad sector 100+ MB,formatted it to skip tht 100mb of space solved the problem) and hitachi(centrino laptop, i found it very slow). so far seagate and quantum never fails on me.but then i feel tht WD also quite good since most cybercafe around klang valley here also use them.imagine le.they got so many customers a day.and they din die easily.

off topic: i missed the old quantum days and i'm still using my old quantum katana 7200rpm till now as my secondary storage.very very reliable.

wanna ask u guys smtg. nowadays 7200rpm drives for 2.5inch HDD are easily can be found in LYP. u guys think does it justify to buy it as a external HDD for gaming?(example:some games not available in cybercafe, but u wanna play there.) in terms of price vs performance. including difference between e-sata and usb2.0 interface.
