-=PCTechTalk=- Re: Hard Drive Recommendations...

I think you need to read the warranties again!
It is my experience/belief that the warranty is ONLY good if it is used as an 
internal drive.

If YOU put it in an external case...all bets are off.  check the warranty 
closely.

I have external drives and they are fine.  Seagate now comes with longer 
warranties on the externals too.

I also recommend Powered Fire wire drives as opposed to USB drives unless they 
are powered too.

You do not want to draw the power from your PC>

I am in a hurry.  I hope this info is clear...and not offensive.

I just want to save you money.....

  I'd like to hear about some real world user opinions on hard drives.  =
  I'm looking to purchase a hard drive to put into a hard drive enclosure. =
   Seagate has the 5 year warranty, Western Digital has the 3 year =
  warranty.  Seagate now has perpendicular writing technology which seems =
  to be getting good reviews.  Anybody have one of the 7200 series =
  Seagates with Perpendicular technology?  I've read that the Seagates get =
  hotter than the Western Digital.  Since I'm putting it in an external =
  enclosure, this could be a concern for me.  Western Digital used to be =
  pretty noisy, and I had one die, but that was on my first computer long =
  ago and far away.  I've been running a WD in my new computer for 2 years =
  now and it's quiet and I've never had a problem with it.  I have a =
  Maxtor  60GB in an enclosure right now and it's quiet and hasn't given =
  me any trouble.  I've read that Samsung has a good drive that is pretty =
  fast, and I believe it has a 3 year warranty.  Does anyone have any =
  experience with Samsung? =20

  Thanks!
