I saw a good HD in dick smith for $128 80GB Seagate Barrcuda but i'm not to sure on it. I was wondering what advice you all could give me on buy a new HD.	Sajuuk Khar (5772)

Western Digital and Seagate are both fine. As are Maxtor. I have lost one of each in the last 4 years, so all are equal in my view ..... Presently running WD (2) Maxtor (3) and Seagate (5) here. No detectable difference apart from Seagate being so quiet you simply cant hear them.	godfather (25)

Those hard drives have a 2MB buffer rather than an 8MB buffer and a 12 month rather than 36 month warranty but other than that it would still be a good buy for a second hard drive.	tommy (2826)
