Well, it's time. My Western Digital 40 gig 7200rpm has decided to start flaking out on me. Windows keeps freezing on me and programs will just stop responding for no reason. Ran a surface scan for bad sectors and found none, reformated and reinstalled twice - still get the same thing, every couple of hours. Time for a new HDD, but I don't want another lemon of a Western Digital. Needs to be EIDE ata100, 7200 rpm<, 40 gig<,
what do you guys suggest, i guess i'm looking for a ranking of the hard drive brands - maybe if you guys give me your top 5 favorites as far as reliability.
I've heard good things about IBM, Seagate, and WD, but i dont want a western digital - i got this one in Nov 2001. Hard drives should last more then 2 1/2 years!
