Hello All,
I just recently received a couple early X-mas gifts, both hard drives. The one in my current system is dying so I need to replace it. (Western Digital 75gb, 5 years old, VERY used)
Anyway, my question is, I only need one of the drives, so was hoping some one could just tell me which they feel is better. I honestly don't know, I was leaning towards the Maxtor since it's SATA and larger. My WD is so old I would guess either of these drives will seem great!
Maxtor 250GB SATA
SeaGate Barracuda 160GB ATA/100
Any suggestions would be appreciated, I'd like to return one of them this week and see what other goodies I can pick up
Both were from CompUSA, links below if you need specs.
