Hi people.
I am rebuilding my system. I was wondering, can anyone recommend a SATA 160GB hard disk to go with my Abit NF7-S mobo? I will not be running RAID, so I will connect each drive to it's own SATA connecter on mobo. I have looked around and Maxtor Diamond Max seems to be a good choice price/performance wise. Drives will be used for OS, programs and all my data stuff ranging from JPEGS to DivX files.

Thanks in advance.

    My first choice is Maxtor
    Second choice is Western Digital

    After that there are no choices as far as I am concerned!

    Thanks people.
    I have just bought myself two of the Maxtor DiamondMax Plus9 160GB SATA drives. Hope they last long.

    My first choice has always been Western Digital. Seagate has been getting my attention these days as well. (Less heat and more quiet.) I've just had too many bad experiences with Maxtor. I would like to point out that all manufacturers have had their ups and downs.

    I know this is a bit late but, I love the Maxtors, quiet , 133mhz ide, free pci cards if needed, great. Western Digitals also great. I also have a Seagate, but it makes a slight grinding noise, where as the Maxtor makes a quieter liquid like noise.

    I would go with a Seagate just because they are a little faster. Most people won't even notice but it's stilll nice to have.
