Anthony,
I could not agree more on HD reliability.....but I will champion Seagate
as a good choice.
Yes, Seagate has dorked with their warranty values, but overall, I have
rcvd 12-15 years of
24/7 use from the Seagate HDs I have owned.
True, I may not thrash my drives with huge reads and writes; but I do
defrag mine monthly!

choice. You need a black, IMO, for video work.

second look at their performance has me looking at other drives.
In the 750G range there appears to be two 7200RPM options, the Seagate
Momentus and the Western Digital. I would like the drive to be fast
(doing video, audio and digital photo work) but it needs to be reliable
too. One of these rise above the other?
Thanks!
