I dunno, I like my Maxtor (sound like the bad guy from Masters of the Universe!). I haven't tried out any other brands, but it seems quiet to me.

I think that Hitachi, Seagate, Western Digital, and Maxtor have all proven themselves to be worthy brands. They are all high quality, finely machined items. There may be a few lemons thrown in on each brand, but this is inevitable. When a company throws out a few million of them a year, not every single one is going to be perfect.

In conclusion: find the cheapest one out of the above brands, and just use it. It should be okay.

PS: Gamer2005, I'm not trying to suggest you were trying to diss either one of these brands. I just thought the above needed to be said. :)

Maxtor in Xbox, but has WD in other machines. Haven't noticed any probs with any of them (except the IBM Deathstar drives that kept burning up - lost one, had it replaced by a WD).

I said Maxtor, and someone dropped my rep for it - they are not THAT bad ;) ... it would have been more interesting if this thread was a poll ... Maxtor, WD, Seagate, Original, IBM, other ...

Seagates are the quietest on market. Personally I don't care for either company (WD and maxtor) both seem more about marketing then making a quality product. Hitachi and Seagate have innovative products.
