Help guys,
making this choice is a pain in the a$$
what do you reccomend ???

WESTERN DIGITAL 1600JD (160GB 8mb cache 7200rpm)
or
MAXTOR DIAMONDMAX PLUS 9 160 GB (also 8mb cache, 7200)

these are my only options but i can't make up my mind
i was going for maxtor, but i hear some people complaining anout them
any suggestions?
 
WD all the way!
Hitachi (or was it samsung?) has a 90$ 160GB drive similar to these at the 'egg. It has a 5 star rating, and it's supposed to be quitet.
 
Does your motherboard support ncq if so the new sata barracuda drives by seagate will boast performance a little plus they have a little faster seek time at 8.5
