Hello, my faithful Maxtor IDE 120GB HD died (completely my fault) and I need to get a new drive. I have an Abit IC7-G board, so I have onboard SATA, so I figure that I will go that route this time. I want to get 2 drives and put them in raid 0. I am not 100% sure which brand I should get. I have always had maxtor's, and am currently looking at 2 Maxtor 120Gb SATA 8Mb Cache drives. Has anybody had any better experience with other drives? Thanks for any input in advance.

***I have looked at Raptors, but they are not big enough (yet) and I can only afford 2 drives right now (I am going to take the plunge and get an X800 :D ) and I really need the space so 2 stanard 7200 RPM drive will suffice for now***
 
Seagate 120GB 8MB 7200RPM SATA drives - nice. Used a couple myself, no problems.
 
I think you're taking too big of a risk with raid 0, but thats my opinion. As far as the drives go, those maxtor ones are nice. If you can afford to wait a little bit though, we've got some pretty cool stuff coming out around January or so. The 120GB SATA drives that are out now though are solid. So, you certainly wouldn't be making a bad decision with them. :)
