I now have close to 3TB of Hard Drive Rom Space! ;D
HaRuMaN:
Any reason you went with Seagate over Western Digital (Caviar Black) 1TB drive?

Yes.
SG has a 5 year warranty vs. 3 from WD.
Brand wise I have had hard drives fail from all manufactures but more from WD than any other company as a whole and who knows, maybe because I just have owned more of that brand. :dunno Once they start to make the dreaded clicking noise, be ready to replace ASAP. :banghead: However with that said, I already had a SG drive start to fail with this project which I have since warranted with SG, fairly hassle free.
So you may ask then, why did I buy WD for my main drive. Well at one time WD was the best in my books and the Raptor Drives have received rave reviews and there is really nothing like them unless you want to run SCSI so I went out on a limb, call it a extra live. ;)
HaRuMaN:
Yeah the 10K rpm Raptors make a good OS drive...
HaRuMaN:
Oh, and FYI... WD has 5 year warranties now.
