New hdd needed 300gb or 250gb SATA

I like maxtor as they never failed me and my 30gb maxtor is still going strong after about 5 years

I have a 200gb maxtor as well. Thats full tho now. So...

What drives are good and back it up with reviews please. Im lookin for 250gb - 300gb sata ii drive as there backward compatible. Other two maxtors are ide so fancy a change and yes i have sata connectors.

Im lookin for about 50 quid max (that price inc shiping and vat) so 50 in total.

Cheers.

i was working on a friends maxtor the other day and i noticed they get really really hot so i wpould buy a western digital or a seagate baracuda as i have one of each and they run quietly and are cool, plus they arereliable and cheap to buy.

I've got two wd 250gb sata2, both great but they are preety loud if you ask me, got a silentmaxx enclosure on one which helped a lot, need another one.
