suggestions on a new hard drive
What companys make good internal hard drives? I am looking to buy an extra 120 internal drive for a new G4. Does anyone have any suggestions? I hear IBM is good but I really don't know. Could someone please qlarify for me?

Ebby what models of the Maxtor and Western Digital failed on you? I am looking to buy a new hard drive this week.
IBMs break
WD are noisy
Seagate doesn't break and they are absolutely quite.
-Western Digital is good
-Western Digital is good
-IBM is good
-IBM licks balls
-Seagate is good
So, am I to infer that every manufacturer has their own problems and that all I need to look for is the fastest drive? Or is there really a company that stands out above the others?
But I heard so many bad things (and experienced myself) that I cannot recommend anyone an IBM drive.
Of course there's always a percentage of drives that will die from any manufacturer... I just believe that WD's death percentage is lower than the other guys, and I myself have had very good fortune with them over the years.
