The only HDD failures i have had/dealt with have been Barracuda, (apart from one many years ago that i honestly can't remember what it was) Other than that i do find that the seagates are pretty damn fine.

I think the consensus is that those prices you quoted were very high, and there are plenty of cheaper deals around. G P	Graham Petrie (449)
91375	2002-10-22 00:22:00	You can actually buy 20 GIG HDDs?? Haven’t seen then around for ages! Getting back to the post, you say you’re in Whangarei, have you tried computerland up there, if I remember right they quoted me some very competitive prices a while ago.
