looking for a 320Gb disk for my brother for his pc. Have heard that some of the Seagate drives are noisy. Is the Western Digital ones better or are they pretty similar? I don't really have any preference. 5 yr warranty on the Seagates is another + point i guess. A few opinions on this would be good. Cheers

but you'll have to look at the cost per gb. it works out to at most 20p per gb. its for the long term.

I'm also a student, i would have bought it if i had not just bought a Seagate 320gb.

very true - guess you have a good point there. Never was one for bigger drives myself. I would always prefer more drives with less capacity. No idea why though! Just keep imaging that if you have a bigger drive you will spend so much longer restoring everything should your disk fail.
 
managed to talk him into the 500gb one. it really is a bargain when you look at the massive reduction on it. Ordered there now so should be here wednesday!
