[TheMajor]

There are WD ata133 also

 

[AND_YOU_ARE]

Are those the only two brands that support ata133?

Maxtor and Wester Digital are both good names. Seagate makes reliable drives as well.

Since you have Seagate (witch is good and Western Digital witch is also good). I would think that they both are better then Maxtor, so its not necessary to go Maxtor.

Maxtor all the freakin way man. I have a Maxtor hd and it never failed me. I've have another Maxtor that is about 8 years old, 15gb and it works great and still usin it..

Personally I prefer seagate I don't know why but that's what used all the time and never had a problem.. other HD's are good too and if I started with WD or Maxtor I would probably be saying the same thing about them.... it really doesn't matter?

Western Digitals raptors on raid. cant beat it.

I don't like to have anything to do with MAXTOR.

I would go for the Western Digitals.

However i would go for SEAGATE personally as they now come with a 5 year manufacture's warranty.

In 5 years, OS's are probobly gonna take up 100GB and a normal HD will be like 3TB... Just think about it, about 3 years ago the largest hd ever was 20gb. Now they have 400 and I think 500 gb monster drives.

Tell me about. You prolly replace the hard drive before the warranty is up.
