The WD. Maxtor has a bad rap (which from firsthand experiences, I understand), and WD is known for being very reliable.

The Western Digital. WD's are more reliable, plus that WD is SATAII, and the Maxtor is SATA150 (not a big difference, but why not for the same price)

the WD is the clear winner in this case.

WD it is, thanks for making it an easy decesion.
