I hear lot of probs in here with Maxtors and Western Digitals drives, so which one will you choose between Samsung, Hitachi and Seagate ?
I require a Sata II drive which is fast and reliable.

I'd always go with seagate, i have LOADS of disks in operation and none ever show flakeyness and are damn smooth and quiet. Though i dont think they make 250MB disks anymore

But they DO make 250GB disks

seagate. there is no other choice to be made. you want reliabillity, pay the extra for the seagate.

hitachi make excellent drives as well. i can honestly recommend either of them. my year old 250gb hitachi is still up there with the fastest drives, and its not sataII or 16mb.
