Maxtor is my "drive of choice" for all ATA installations. Western Digital has the highest failure rating in my shop. I have Maxtor in all my personal machines as well. I speak from the experience of a wide installation base. I install several HD's a day. Hundreds a month. Maxtor has the best rating according to my data. WD the worst. > 2) I also read online that earlier iMacs didn't take advantage of drives > faster than 5400 RPM. Again, from your experience can you vouch yay or > nay on that? I prefer 7200 RPM drives. Even if the machine will not benefir I make it a habit to install 7200's. I do this in case the machine dies, and the HD is transplanted into a newer Mac or a FW case. They are just a few dollars more than 5400rpm drives so It's worth it IMHO. Kyle H.
