QUOTE(mADmAN @ Oct 25 2008, 02:35 AM) thought id share this with everyone.... yupz thats very cool indeed... i prefer seagate too... they really put a lot of effort... last week i sent a dead seagate HDD for RMA directly to the distro in summit subang..... today i received the replacement hdd... i LOVE the way they packed the HDD.... really makes me feel secure about the HDD... not only that... service was damn fast too about 1-2 weeks only... plus with the packaging, it gives me even more confidence to buy Seagate HDDs  EDIT: added quote tags to avoid pic quoters and is it still the 5 years warranty thing? |

HDD aren't that noisy nowadays.. but if you save a lot of files, some HDD will start to produce noisy sound when loading... no need to worry about the brand.. but i personally go for Seagate..
