Need help with HDD choose

[takomania]

i would definitely go for the first one- HDD 500GB-SATA-16MB Hitachi Deskstar P7K500 (HDP725050GLA360)

i have 6 of these exact drives in my machine - they run great! silent and fast

I would wait for SSD to come down in price, and then go for them, but thats my choice.

I'm currently using a 1.5 TB Seagate HDD. Can't complain about it at all!

Westen Digital

WD is still e best choices around, dont really like SG or Hitachi.

[mirrormask]

wd would be my first choice.
if you can get a good deal on the seagate, that would also be ok.

so far for me wd is the best, seagate has failed me with their firmware issue and costed me a lot of my data. i never used hitachi though. For more than 10 years i use wd with no issues yet

buy the one that give the most value for money 2GB have only recently come out so i wouldnt go there but definitely go for the 1.5TB and dont buy samsung, they suck bad.

I have all three in my PC right now. (different sizes but all same performance).
they are all great and (god forbid) never had problems with neither.
I say go the the cheapest or with Seagate which I'm the most satisfied with.
