I have all Maxtor hard drives in my video editing computer and am looking at buying another hard drive for media (not my OS). I saw a good deal on a WD 160gb 7200 8mb cache hard drive; however, I've read that WD hard drives can be noisier and less reliable than other drives. I've been very happy with my Maxtor drives, so I am wondering whether or not I'll find WD drives to be noisier. I've also read that Seagate drives are very quiet but do not perform as well as Maxtor or WD. Any comments, recommendations on large hard drives that are quiet and reliable for video editing.
Maxtor, WD or Seagate?
