It seems that Maxtor is the performance leader with the HD's only because they offer a 16MB buffer cache, 350GB space with SATA2. They come extremely close to Western Digital's Super Fast 10,000RPM Raptor drive.
If Western Digital was to come out with a Raptor Drive @ 200GB - 16MB cache - SATA2 - 10,000RPM, then they would sell out the first day they would be announced. And keep the performance Crown.
Western Digital makes excellent hard drives. Seagate's Barracudas are quiet, but not as fast as Western Digital. WDC combines both speed & silence. Hitachi is also another excellent company. Most Maxtors I've seen have burn-out problems, (similar to 36GB Raptors, except Raptors are @ 10K RPM, while Maxtor is @ 7.2K RPM) and they are quite loud.

How come every time theres a poll theres never the choice i want on it?
Anyway my vote goes to samsung, they never get the best reviews nor are they the best performers around but every single one ive had has worked without a hitch untill i finaly got shut of it. This means more to me than any crummy magazine review or performance comparison.
