| 241431 | 2004-06-03 10:40:00 | This has always puzzled me... Why do Seagate hard drives cost less than WDs? From what I have heard, they dont perform much differently... Is it because they are infact separate in quality? How? By what degree? Or is it because of origin, and packaging, and other stupid little things that hike prices? |

| 241433 | 2004-06-04 00:49:00 | I was under the impression that all the popular makes of HDD, Maxtor, Seagate, Western Digital, were all much about the same price when you compare like with like? EG, below copied from a local online store: Seagate Barracuda 5400.1 40GB 5400RPM IDE ATA100 Hard Disk Drive 2MB cache 12.5ms seek time 12 Months $134 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Western Digital WD400EB 40GB 5400RPM IDE ATA100 Hard Disk Drive 2MB cache 12.4ms seek time 12 Months $134 |
