Hey everyone...

Long time no post =X

I'm planning on getting a new hard drive. The thing I'm really looking for is relability. I have my computer on 24/7, and I'm usually downloading, or letting something run over night, and also very gaming intensive.

I do produce music also on it, but I doubt thats much of a HD concern.

I'm looking for a few choices on a hard drive. I don't really want to spend more then ~$100.

This is one of the choices I saw

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822136053

Its a Western Digital Enterprise Class, thats built for 24/7 use. Are there any similar choices?

The warranty says it all. 5 years.

Seagate drives have the same warranty, but those RE drives are sweet. What tops it is that WDC is the only hard drive company that cross-ships for RMAs. Seems like a good choice to me.

Yeah, I've had bad experiences with Seagate and their SATA drives. I think that was partly my fault, as I had my PC oce'd and no PCI/AGP Locks (That I knew of)...The Western Digital though, is a freaking Rock

I think I'll just get a couple of those 320GB's for my next conroe setup. They pretty much are built for what I use it for. 24/7 R/W.
