I'm building my first computer and I've narrowed down my hard drive choices to these two.
They're the 250gb SATA Seagate 7200.8 and Hitachi T7K250. The Seagate is $110 and the Hitachi is $120 (on zipzoomfly- I'll be buying from them). I'll be using the computer mostly for games, but also mulitasking, p2p filesharing, etc. A slight performance difference doesn't matter to me, what I care about most is the drive's reliabilty, that it won't be DOA and won't die soon after I start using it (so the brand's reputation is important). Which should I buy?
Here are the links to each hd-
