| 465982 | 2006-06-25 07:13:00 | I am selling my old 80GB IDE storage drive to make way for a SATAII, the best value I can find is the Hitachi Deskstar T7K250 160GB for $110 Would like to know, are these drives still 'deathstars', or have they become better quality after Hitachi bought them from IBM??? Does anyone have any themselves to speak of? |

| 465983 | 2006-06-25 09:54:00 | Can't comment on the Deskstar but personally I would put up the extra $15-$20 and get a Seagate with a 5 year warranty. It's the only brand I purchase. :2cents: |

| 465984 | 2006-06-25 14:19:00 | I think I will get a seagate actually, as I can get it for only about $4 more (and 2 years more warranty) | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 465985 | 2006-06-25 19:20:00 | Yea stay away from Hitachi SATA (or any for that matter) as had quite a few die recently. Go with Seagate. | CYaBro (73) | ||
| 465986 | 2006-06-25 22:47:00 | Yep. Seagate. | pctek (84) | ||
| 465987 | 2006-06-26 02:05:00 | I have had both Maxtor and Deskstars die with no warning, Seagate are the best, I have had one of them fail but it gave pleanty of notice and Ascent replaced it very fast extra warranty can never be bad :thumbs: just my :2cents: worth |
