harddrive poll

I have to go with Western Digital. They make 10,000 rpm SATA, 8 Meg cache hard disks which are extremely reliable. We all like fast PC's, so for me WD presently makes the fastest most reliable hard disks.

so they WD Caviar series are good also?

I like how Maxtor has 16mb of cache.

i might get 4 WD's 40gb 7200rpm sata on raid since everyone says they are good...

I have had 2 Western Digital HDD's. One 30 gig and the other 40. Each of them crapped out on me after a year and a half of use.

Then I moved to Seagate 5 years ago and I have never had any problems with any of the drives I bought back then. It's pretty nifty, my vote goes to Seagate out of experience.
