Western Digitals are still really good drives...so if it works...why switch....?

The only thing i would watch out for is some are better than others...

I have a WD Caviar as my other drive and its quiet and fast enough...

My system drive is a Seagate Barracuda 7200 8MB buffer drive and it just got real good benchmarks among others and from my first one which I used and abused a while back... it just on working fine with no problems whatsoever..

The new Maxtor 10.000 RPM drive is the fastest for the IDE drives and is only slight behind the Raptor in performance...
