Is Western D. a good hd brand?

Both are good HD drives...

My one and only WD hard drive crashed on me after 2 yrs. That's the only HD I've ever owned that actually crashed. But, you know it really doesn't mean anything in the big picture . "Someone" is gonna defective part eventually. All the "top" companies like Seagate, WD, etc. have good products. Otherwise, they'd be bankrupt.

My wd failed after 6 years, then i got a Maxtor to replace it, it failed after 1 year, now i have another Maxtor because thats all they sell around here....

Seagate and WD are both very nice brands, i think maxtor sucks.

You are never supposed to keep a hard drive over 5 years, because eventually they all fail.

My HD in my 486 still works man . Bought it it '94!..

Western Digital and Seagate are the best. Maxtor is another story.

Thanks for your replies guys. I will go with WD and see what happens.

Just leave me alone about my poor Maxtor The only reason i dont have a WD or something else is because my HDD usualy fails when i least expect it, and they only sell Maxtor with in 50 miles of my house and i dont get around much...

Go with either, I doesn;t really matter, theres the same amount of chance of getting a bad HDD. Good luck.
