hey everyone, i want to get 2 new sata2 hard drives for storage of all my crap within reasonable price range (around $100) but im having trouble deciding which ones.. i was looking at 320gb sata2 7200rpm 16mb cache drives, and came up with the Seagate ST3320620AS and the Western Digital WD3200KS. i was going to go with the seagate but some of the reviews on newegg said the drives failed in a short period of time. and it would suck to put some stuff on there and then lose it all from a drive failure.
one thing im a tiny bit confused on.. i am aware that oem drives are just the drive itself with nothing else, but are they refurbished, or brand new drives? i was under the impression that they were brand new, until i read on some store's site that oem assumes that they are factory reconditioned...
anyways, any opinions would be appreciated.
thanks.
