Hard Drive

[sammyunltd]

Hi!

I'm looking forward to upgrade my computer and I had some questions about the hard drive:

Which brand (nowadays) is the best (price ---> not a big factor though, reliability, performance,...)? WD, Maxtor, Samsung or Seagate?

Between, say (for instance), these ones (because I'm looking for 200 to 300 GB):

Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 320GB SATA2 3GB/S 7200RPM 16MB Cache NCQ Hard Drive
Western Digital Caviar SE16 250GB SATA2 7200RPM 16MB 8.9MS Hard Drive
Maxtor DiamondMax 10 300GB SATA2 7200RPM 16MB 9MS NCQ Quiet RoHS Hard Drive
Samsung Spinpoint T Series 300GB SATA2 NCQ 7200RPM 8MB 8.9MS Hard Drive

Thank you

Seagate, WD, Samsung, they are all good, Maxtor.. not so much.
