I've had problems in the past with Maxtor and IBM overheating.

I'd recommend Western Digital, just my opinion.

Either Western Digital, Maxtor or Hitachi.

Seagate for me.

Had 'mares with Maxtor and IBM drives in the past. Both also tend to get VERY noisey after a while.

If you're ordering for work, I'd use www.scan.co.uk

Had Seagate - worst drive I ever owned, and that includes having a IBM Deathstar!! Noise when seeking was like 100 people tapping their fingernails on tables!!!

My personal favourite is Western Digital, closely followed by Samsung Spinpoint. The latter is extremely quiet, even when under pressure.
