Hard disc binchmarks
Found this useful comparison
site of hard discs
Anyone want to comment on the figures? (linky is to the 2 discs I am looking to buy but loads of others on there).
In raw perfomrance (read/write) the Seagate has beeter figure but for applicaiton benchmarks, the WD does significantly better - why would that be?

Personally I always go for the Seagates. I find them more reliable and good performance. Incidentally I spent a few days with a data recovery company
last year and they used seagate for everything as they had found them to be the most reliable disks available too!

There is no replacement for displacement...

You're not trying hard enough 
I've knackered Maxtor, Hitachi and various others including Seagates and Western Digital over the years. I currently have a Samsung sata II
which is quieter than any I've had before. I don't get bogged down with spec just buy what fits and is cheap as I don't think 10
nanoseconds here or there is going to affect anything I do
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
