hi there. unfortunately my hard drive WD 200Gb sata 8mb cache has just "resigned". so after loosing 160 gigs of valuable data i am not willing to meet with that onother time. i am thinking of going in a mirror raid but i am not quite sure what hard drives i shall buy. any suggestions?
Is 2x wd 250gb sata 2, 16 cache a good choice?
do they work great in raid mode? i've seen some "raid editions" wd drives but with smaller cache. are there raid editions in that wd model?thanks!!!
 
If you're looking for reliability. Go with Seagate. I've had very bad luck with WD and Maxtor. Right now I'm trying out Hitachi.
 
Believe it or not you aren't the first person to ask this question. Try searching - this thread will soon turn into sob stories about how people will not buy xxxx hard drive because one crapped out on them after a month.

As the previous posters mentioned, WD and Seagate are both fine brands - I'd go with Seagate for the 5 year warranty.
