Opinions on best HD brand for 200gb drive

[Titan]

I know people have many opinions on which hard drives are good, and which ones have burned them. I'm looking to pick up 2 200gb drives (EIDE) for a raid-0 and want to know who has the best reputation in recent history. Share any stories/opinions please.

with Seagates 5 yr warrenty it makes it a easy decision for me.

I would also choose Seagate

Seagate, no contest. My 200Gb 7200.7 is freakin' excellent.

I Know a lot of people here support seagate drives opposed to other companies but I wonder if 1. Is there a guide compairing practically all drives and 2. what makes seagate better than maxtor or western digital?

Seagate for me too. 🙂

Go to Storage Review and look through the Data Base as it compares most HD and with Seagate being the quietest, running cool, and 5 yrs on the warranty, not to mention their SATA drivers have true support they are inexpensive as well. That's a formula that's to be hard to beat/turndown...

5yr warrenty, near silent, and stellar reputation.....Seagate all the way

I am now a Seagate believer.

WD is just loud, really really annoying.
Maxtor was my favorite, but it's really no match for the quietness of the seagate.

I know I'm going against the bandwagon here, but check out the new Maxtor DM10's.
