I'll vote in a minute ... but before I do, I'll add my two cents on the 'usefulness' of the poll....

Hard-drives are sadly now a consumable thing ... the old addage 'they don't make 'em like they used to ' most definately applies !!

They are all guilty of making shoddy substandard drives from time to time. Be it just a batch, which enevitably either I get them or someone at windrivers does, or like Fujitsu (mine & a certain fisherman's favourite manufacturer ! ) quality control just goes out the window in favour of cost !!

Who makes the 'best' harddrive is a mute point !

Who swaps 'em quickest and with the least hassle is probably a much better poll ?

The other thing to look for is warranty, if they give a long warranty then they are happy with the quality of the drive, is it a manufacturers direct warranty or an accredited re-sellers warranty?

We all know sometimes you buy the cheapest component there is and somehow it outlasts the supposed 'Rolls-Royce' part (though BMW make them now!)...

Okay that's enough, for 2 cents it is !! - I'll go vote !
