I need a new HDD. I have narrowed it down to two.

Seagate 30GB ATA/100 7200 rpm £102 inc P&P inc VAT IBM 41.1GB 7200 rpm ATA/100 £82 + VAT + 10 P&P

I know the IBM looks better on paper, but we have had 3 IBM hdd fail at work (all 20GB) so am worried about them.

So what would people recommend?

I have 3 seagate 30GB drives in this computer, all work flawlessly, im happy with them. Having said that. had the IBMs been cheaper when I brought the drives, I would have got IBMs instead.

Everyone has their own HD horror stories, conflicting with someone elses. I think self judgement comes to call on this :)
