Re: what brand of hd

Buy whatever size, connection style, and price meets your needs.

In 20+ years of having hard drives in my PCs, and having at least 1 of each
of those brands, none have ever failed on me.

So I have no favorites... it's just whichever meets my needs.

If a pencil's lead breaks are you going to forever not use a pencil?

This is getting very frustrating.

Back in the day, the choice was simple -- Western Digtial or Quantum
WD and Quantum were very reliable.

Ever since WD went down years ago, the choice was simple -- Maxtor.
Again Maxtor was very reliable.

Seagate and Conner were just bad.


Now after they've tried to drive everybody else out of business, we have
only two -- Seagate and Western Digital.

Reading the reviews from amazon.com is frustrating. Hard disks crashed in
both brand and lost everything within a week or so.

So... what to buy?

That IS the answer!
And I am screwed.
Deadline was due yesterday.

There is no point to life.
THAT IS THE POINT.
And we are screwed.
We will run out of oil soon.
