Personally I find it hilarious that you have the hots for my gramma. Especially seeins how she is 3x your age, and makes your Brittney-Spears-wannabe 30-something wife look like a rag doll who went thru WWIII with a burning stick of dynamite up her a** :)

Just picked up a 400 GB Hitachi today. Have been happy with Hitachi drives. Everybody likes different drives (Maxtor, Hitachi, Seagate, etc.) so you are unlikely to find a concensus opinion around here, I fear.

Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!

I put one of those Maxtor drives in my new G5 to use as a boot drive, hoping it would be quieter than the stock WD. It's not, much; there's a fair amount of access noise. Having used a PowerBook, iBook and Mac mini until now, which have virtually silent disks, I'm surprised. I guess it must be normal for 3.5" drives to be a little noisier.

No it's not. At newegg, the 320 Gig Western Digital is ($115.99 after $15.00 Mail-In Rebate).

i just bought a maxtor maxline 250 gb for my new quad, which i am using as the boot disc, it is definitely seems less loud than the wd that came with it (which is important since the quads appear to be the most quiet PMG5s yet). bare feats convinced me it was the drive to go with:

these are also good to see if yo want to feel more confident

it pretty much owns relative to the rest, but the WD does definitely give it a run for the money.
