I know this question is often asked, but for every person saying that one brand is the best, another says they had one of those crash and hates it and that another brand is instead the best. Then the cycle repeats. I've had good experiences with Maxtor for the most part, but I've heard that they did have a bad batch at some point, although that problem has been alleviated. I know Seagate is supposed to be very reputable, but the drive I'm looking to replace due to impending doom noises is that very brand.
Basically, what is really the most reliable brand of 80-120GB HDD? (I have a 160GB, but the mobo doesn't support >137GB and I don't feel like going through the hassle necessary to make it do so.)
