Hard drive poll --hurray!

Who do you think is the king of the jungle?

Samsung, 1 reason only.
Every PC i've ever purchased had a Samsung from the manufacturer, and it's the only HD that hadn't crashed or given me problems.

I've bought a few Maxtor's only to have them RMA.
I've never tried any other brand of HD.

[Cat person]

Always use Maxtor and never had any problems with them.

I've had bad drives from all manufacturers, although I have primarily WD drives ATM and have had no problems with any of them.

[felixtrio]

90% of my drives are Western Digital. I have found over the years they last longer.

From what we replace in the store we find that WD is the best ..

[Frogy]

I have WD, 2 maxtors and am still using an old 6gig quantum (prior to being bought by maxtor)and have used seagate in the past. My vote currently goes to WD but quantum was always my favorite.

[sargpep]

I Like WD myself, although Maxtor is pretty good .

[sickcars]

I like Maxtor better. I have worked on pcs with other hds which had problems and yet i have had 1 or 2 problems with maxtors HDD's not as much as other Companys that I have seen.

Overall they are all about the same give or take. I just hope since Maxtor & Segate are together now they will make even better drives :)

I have a Seagate 40 gig and a Maxtor 120 gig have had no problems with either one

Can somebody answer me this, has western digital been using the fluid dynamic flux capacitors in their harddrives? I've a 80GB "JB" model I bought a while ago, still going great, and I thought it had the FDB motor but I'm not too sure anymore. I also read that the 250GB "JB" has ball bearing motor. Does anybody know anything about what type of bearings WD uses?

[Swordfish]

3 Maxtors 2 in this machiene and one in my backup and no problems with any of them :)

[nightwolf]

iam for WD works well IMO

[Tess]

4 - WD

1 - Seagate

[AMD]

I don't care as long as it works and doesn't lose my data. I haven't had problems with any drive except for an old quantum.

[Bluvertigo]

Fujitsu ?

[Just Doug1]

Fujitsu ?

Do they still make drives?

I gave up on them when I couldn't get 2 identical drives out of a stock of 12 available to function in a striped array for more than a few days without crapping out.

[Pedar]

Have Maxtor's in both computer's and have been happy with them. Had A samsung in the old computer and one was also fine.

[Andromeda]

Have had Seagates and WD's. Really like the WD. Never ever had a problem with a HD.:) Have other problems, but that's personal ....:ldp:

[Dr.Dan]

{Fujitsu ?} Do they still make drives?
Yes, but just laptop drives... and from what I've heard from some is they make a very good drive now...
But with their bad rep from years ago with all their PC drives dieing... well, they were best to leave that segment ;)

As for what I like; Seagate is my favorite... followed by WD
Only because Seagate offers a 5 year warranty and WD is only 3

About 5 years ago Seagate was just a bit ahead of WD, but both of these drives are equal in quality today.
