Have a look on Storage Review. They have exhaustive reviews of most of the hard disks on the market. Last time I checked the Western Digital were fastest but the Seagate drives were considerably quieter.

Hi -
I'm just about to buy a new hard drive, and I've been hearing horrible stories
about Maxtor (cheap but icky) and IBM (just flaky for 2 drive models, other
more recent models seem ok).
I'm tempted by Western Digital (WD800JB - 80Gb, 8Mb buffer, 7200rpm) who I've
alway found reliable, and by the Seagate iv series -
Main apps are audio processing (audacity) and simple office stuff, odd bit of
html and Delphi.
Any info / experience would be welcome before I part with my hard-earned cash!
regards,
Neil.
