Hi all, i'm about to order up my components for my MythBox and found two drives that i'm interested in. Newegg.com has a 300MB Seagate for $195.00 and a 300MB Maxtor for $199.00. the Seagate is a 7200RPM drive while the Maxtor is a 5400RPM drive. typically i would go for the 7200RPM for data transfer, but i've read several posts that the 5400 drives are more than adequate for a MythBox and they usually run cooler and quieter. however, the Seagate has a 5 year warrenty while the Maxtor only has a 3 year warrenty; and i've never been impressed with Maxtor drives. the only drive i've had fail on me was a Maxtor. first impressions... ;)
so i know this is a somewhat religious/flamewar subject, but i'm curious as to what others would pick up if they were building a new box and they were choosing between these two drives. thanks, andy ps: if you know where i can get either of these drives cheaper i wouldn't mind hearing that either. ;) ------------------------------------ GMail Invites available Email me off-list only...
