Solid Hard Drive
- Pros: Very solid, cheap, east installation, quiet
- Cons: None
- Other Thoughts: Needed a little extra space, this was the perfect solution. NewEgg was fast as always.
Maxtor does it again!!!
- Pros: Does its job likt it should. quiet, fast (8MB), best quality over other brands
- Cons: NONE. Never had an issue with Maxtor hard drives.
- Other Thoughts: Fujitsu and W.D. dont come close. I have used amost every brand of H.D's and Maxtor has lasted the longest.
Great bang for the buck
- Pros: It's a Maxtor (for most of us this is a name synonymous with reliability. I believe Seagate hasn't actually changed Maxtor's production processes.)
Insanely quiet (I had it in an open enclosure next to me and still couldn't hardly hear it.) Product page says around 3.2 dB under normal access, which is quieter than practically any harddrive and can't be heard over any fan you are likely to have.
ATA133 is still pretty good (in fact, few drives can utilize SATA1.5 noticably better than ATA133 and none can truly utilize SATA3.0.)
For its pricerange and speed, it has good seek times and latencies.
- Cons: Gets a tad warmer than one would expect from a low end drive, though doesn't go anywhere near its maximum operating temperature (60C.) I mention this as a con because if you get it for a passive external enclosure like I did you need to ensure it will be cooled well enough to not tear up or get a drive made to take more (a notebook drive would be ideal.)
- Other Thoughts: I have had a lot of Maxtor drives over the years. In my experience the Maxtor drives have been very reliable with only one dying at all after a number of years and one after four years or so getting a few bad sectors. On the other hand, I have had a Seagate drive which routinely "forgot" the partition table and Wxxxern Dxxxtal drives that died after a short time.
