[Scottish] hard drives

[Chris Dickson]

I've been using the 80Gb Western Digital drive you mentioned for at least 8
months, if not more and have had no problems with it. In my experience WD
Cavair are reliable drives that do what they say on the tin basically.

Cheers,
Chris

Hi -

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

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

Main apps are audio processing (audacity) and simple office stuff, odd bit
of
html and Delphi.

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

regards,

Neil.
