Arg, which hard drive do I buy? I've decided on the Western Digital 500GB Scorpio Blue for my laptop after seeing ncix's sale on them (I'm in Canada.. and it's $99), as well as techreport's roundup, but what about an external? I was looking at the 1.5TB Seagate 7200.11's, but after that firmware fiasco, my friend's Seagate dying (and finding out about their garbage RMA policies), and their seemingly lackluster speeds in recent reviews, it appears that it would be best to avoid them.
Which non-solid-state drives are people buying these days? I feel like I'm a tad out of the loop... I remember having good luck with old Western Digital's (like, 80-120GB) when they were new, before I switched to Seagate around when the 320's came out. But what about Hitachi, etc. How are they?
This is ncix's sale page. They usually have the best prices on things but I'm open to suggestions.
