[Scottish] hard drives

[Neil Sinclair]

Hi -

I'm just about to buy a new hard drive, and I've been hearing horrible st=
ories=20
about Maxtor (cheap but icky) and IBM (just flaky for 2 drive models, oth=
er=20
more recent models seem ok).

I'm tempted by Western Digital (WD800JB - 80Gb, 8Mb buffer, 7200rpm) who =
I've=20
alway found reliable, and by the Seagate iv series -=20

Main apps are audio processing (audacity) and simple office stuff, odd bi=
t of=20
html and Delphi.

Any info / experience would be welcome before I part with my hard-earned =
cash!

regards,

Neil.
