3rd choice

Interesting. I just heard about that 3rd choice from this forum. What makes you like it over the others?

As I'm not a big fan of Samsung drives, I would have to go with the WD 3200AAKS. I have one and it is a snappy drive, wven with the high seek times.

Oh. Is it a quiet drive.

I pick Seagate because they offered 5 years warranty

For the last 10 years, I have always picked up Seagate for its reliability and warranty. After some cross checks among friends I'm hearing that the problem of Bad Sectors showing up in the HDD is relatively low in case of Seagate compared to others; with duration of usage being the same.

WD and seagate have served me well over the years. I don't know much about the samsung.
