For basically the same price can get a seagate120Gb or Western Digital Drive 120Gb ( 8Mb cache)



Any one had any bad experiences with either of these?



thanks

    Seagate the way to go.

    the 8mb cache is appealing as it apparently makes a big difference to the speed

    Are they both the same type of drive? Like ATA IV?



    If there is a difference, then it may depend on the Mac they go into as to whether it supports the higher bus speed.

    I haven't had any problems with the 1200JB. It is a fast drive.
