So it appears I'm going to need a new hard drive. Looking for a smaller one now because I'll be buying a new computer later this year. Anyways, of these three products (maxtor, seagate, western) which is the best:

maxtor: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage...30572&type=product&productCategoryId=cat01043

western: http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/...age=productlisting.aspx&instock=&refurbished=

seagate: http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/...age=productlisting.aspx&instock=&refurbished=

Trying to keep the price around $70, with 7200 RPM and ATA100. Currently leading toward the WD because of the 8mb cache but not sure on brand quality which would be the best.

Thanks!
 
When it comes to the internal hard drives their almost all the same if your using EIDE, in the case of the ones you have displayed i would just stick with the best buy one. Having worked for best buy myself i know how good their stuff is (no jokes about their computer techs, i know most of them are morons). Best buy though has good warranties and a stiff return policy so dont mess with them. They all have the same speed and almost the same seek time (how long on avg. it takes to find the information) so it really isnt an issue, their all good brands.
