After replacing my stock Maxtor 20Gb with a Seagate 'cuda 7200 80Gb (2Mb cache), all I have to say is that I am very satisfied with this brand and would vote for them. I am also interested in hearing other's opinions/experiences as I am in the process of switching again for a bigger (120Gb) / faster (8Mb cache) one. My main concerns are: noise and power consumption. My Cube is (still) a stock 450MHz running 10.3.8 and 9.2.2. As usual, TIA.
