Maxtor vs Seagate

[Parimal]

Is Maxtor's DiamondMax 10 (with 8MB buffer) better than Seagate's current Barracudas?? I'm looking for 120GB Sata hard drive....!!

very similar, the DM10 is the same as the .8 Seagate as near as damn it, i would have the seagate tbh

Didn't AT do a review that showed the DM10s were better for less money?

I know I read some kind of a review to the effect that DM10s were better across the board and cost less money.

Maxtor: slighty better performance/cheaper

Seagate: Quieter/5 year warranty

Maxtors run cooler then the Seagate drives.
