Seagate Drives
Posted by Michael Dale on Mon, 08 Jan 2007 10:30 PMI had another Seagate drive die on me. I'm not going to be buying that brand from now on, pity I thought they were pretty good.
Any recommendations?

I've a couple of Maxtors that have been behaving for a few years now. A Seagate started dying a few weeks back (it's still working but error-ridden and the boot sector is shot and Windows can't replace the MBR) and it's only less than 12 months old.
Hitachi are pretty obscure and I dunno much about Samsung (though I'd use an optical drive by them, I think I've got one or two in service around the traps)

I've been telling Michael to buy Samsung for ages. I recall early last year he said something along the lines of "samsung suck, seagate rule"

Lately, i've been reading up about Samsung as a good HDD brand. The brand as a whole has been getting good reviews on most hardware sites.
Maxtor has a history of dieing almost as much as Seagate.
Hitachi is also a good brand but i've read a few sites saying that for general desktop use and archival ability, the Samsung is better.
I've pretty much vowed never to buy a Seagate again after the two in my machine make bizarre humming sounds which im assuming mean they're nearing the end.
