My personal choice is > Baracuda or the IBM line if you truely prefer quality (and have a deep > pocketbook). I would second the advice about skipping on Microp. We installed about 10 in a 2 month period, and now we don't know what to do. We sent them back to micropolis who replaced them for free with drives with a newer firmware to no avail...they still whine REAL LOUD, and i have one that sounds like it's going to explode and kill me. These are all brand new drives with less than 1000 hours of use on them.
