They had the self bricking drive firmware issue a few years back, plus the slur against their name from aquiring Maxtor... buying Maxtor is like paying someone to give you a handicap.

So far, apart from the spin-up issues with the Greens, I've had a good run with WD.

1304489 2012-10-04 00:15:00 seems to me that most drives are quite audible if you have the case next to the monitor, i now have 3 HD,s not including an ssd and i was ripping a dvd at x64 whilst do a virus check. I couldn't drown out the noise, not that the noise was super loud just irritating. Slankydudl (16687)
