Gonna get an internal 320 meg drive for my G5, and looking around OWC, I see Hitachi, Maxtor, Seagate and Western Digital. Anyone have any preferences among those, or horror stories for brands I should avoid?

I've always been a big fan of Seagate drives. I have had quality and lifespan issues with Western Digital and Maxtor drives in the past.

I was just browsing Newegg yesterday and noticed they had a 500GB for $149 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...2E16822148136), and their 320GB is only $89 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...2E16822148140).

[FYI. I did not post the "Once You Know, You Newegg" URLs in that fashion. I only posted the complete URL; MacNN forums automatically replaced my text with "Once You Know, You Newegg." It's a bit shameful that they are editing our content like that, but they do have to pay the bills somehow. I just wanted to be on the record that I am not so shamelessly plugging Newegg.]

Hawkeye, use the Advanced Reply option. That gives you a checkbox to disable the title fetch. Also, if you code it manually with your own URL tags, it will leave your links alone.

I've been arguing to the rest of the staff to return to the previous default: not to fetch titles. So far, little progress. It would help if more people posted complaints in the Feedback thread.

Thanks, reader50. My apologies for the false accusation and poor assumption. I'm an .

Don't buy from OWC; they sell the same hardware as Newegg for 20% more money. I'll second the recommendation for Seagate; they're the only brand with a 5 year warranty.

I'd think about going with 400GB or even 500GB instead of 320GB; the price per gig is pretty much flat.
320GB for $90 (28 cents/gig)
400GB for $120 (30 cents/gig)
500GB for $150 (30 cents/gig)
750GB for $290 (39 cents/gig)

I am shamelessly plugging Newegg; they have great prices and good customer support for returns.

Thanks guys. I will probably order from Newegg when the money arrives.

Pick me up one, too; while you're at it.
