Hitachi Hard Drives?
Hey, I'm in need of a new Hard Drive, and I was looking around, and I saw I could get a 160Gb Seagate Hard Drive, or a 360Gb Hitachi Hard Drive for my max amount to pay for a Hard Drive atm (AU$90), I know Hitachi's Hard Drive division was brought from IBM, which had.... issues, and I was wondering if they're better now? Since the extra storage would be a blessing.

I've been running my Hitatchi Deskstar for almost 6 years now with absolutely zero issues. The "Deathstar" moniker was not accurate, in my opinion, in post-IBM Deskstars.

Hitachis are very good hard drive, their failure rate is actually better than ST and WD in some cases.

Hitachi has some of the fastest drives out there for notebooks. Before the 7200.11 and WD AAKS series, I remember their large drives were the fastest for their size. I'm not sure if that still applies but Hitachi makes very good drives nonetheless. Go for it.
