I like people being honest :)
I've never been a big fan of Seagate drives. Over the years
the only ones I have never tried are Samsung - I've had Maxtor, Seagate,
Hitachi and Western Digital.
I've had a 700 MB WD and I know 2 persons who had problems with WD disks in that time frame. Then, I bought a 4,1 GB Quantum. Then a 2, a 4.1 and an 8 GB Quantum drives were given to me. Only the 2 and the 4.1 that I now use and that were given to me have been used consecutively, except maybe for one year.
In recent years the Seagate and Maxtor drives have fallen over most readily,
while the Hitachi and WD units have stood up to the task. Of course having now written this...
I know nothing of Seagate and nothing of WD today. I suppose they're the brands I'd consider. I'd sure appreciate other opinions. One of these days, I believe I'll finally have to buy antoher computer :)
On a related note, when a drive is failing and goes into "limp home" mode -
i.e. max sustained transfer is 2MB/sec - what's the official name for that
condition? (assuming there is one)
?
