Looking for a 5400rpm IDE drive, which one should I get?

[ahsia]

I am looking for a 5400rpm drive to use mainly for backups. At least 80gb, and it has to be reliable, because I am using it as a backup hard drive. I have currently have three 30gb drives that stores data, but none of them are backed up. Since the backup drives aren't going to be accessed all the time, I thought I can save a few bucks and get 5400rpm instead of 7200rpm. Which brand should I get? Seagate? WD? Maxtor? Does IBM make a large capacity 5400 rpm drive?

Maxtor make nice drives, though I have never had a 5400rpm from them, my 7200rpm works fine.

IMO, I'd recommend the Maxtor also.

I stick with Seagate for all my HD needs.

I have narrowed it down to three:

Western Digital WD800AB 80gb
Maxtor D540X 80gb
Seagate U Series ST380020A 80gb

Which one should I get?
