    i've never personally used western digital but seagate and maxtor have always given me good results. if you want MY honest opinion, there will be people that may agree or disagree with me out there, but i have personally found maxtor the better of the two but thats just from my experience.

    I have been very pleased with the DiamondMax series of Maxtor drives. I am running 2 of them now (60 and 80 gig).

    My experience with larger Seagate drives is limited.
