    Hard Drive Companies...

    My harddrive just failed on my main computer. Do any of you have a recommendation for a hard drive I should get.

    Storage should be about 300gb.

    Western Digital or Maxtor are really good hard drive makers

    my sony vaio uses a seagate
    i dont know what size models of hard drives they make, but mines 80 gigs

    it has gone through system crashes, even fatal ones, and i have never had any bad sectors appear (proven by running scandisk). my hard drive is now almost 3 years old..

    it runs really well, but tends to heat up to around 95-100 after intense gaming (room is roughly 70 degrees F); its quiet compraed to most hard drives ive heard

    if i were you, i would just settle for most bang for buck.. just make sure you get some kinda brand thats well known and has a good warantee
