Oh well I have some time to think about it yet.

I'd go with the Maxtor's. You definitely get what you pay for with regard to WD.. Had a 160GB WD and had to replace it. The damn thing was LOUD -- definitely the loudest part of my entire system.

I've had the opposite experience. My Maxtor after 4 years of use is LOUD. The WD drive I have is very quiet.

What about COURTESY?
No thread crapping. If the subject matter of a deal does not interest you, do not post negative comments about it, or about other members, in the thread.
Possibly the worst examples we have had of this have been in posts for free religious items, such as bibles, etc. If you want to discuss religion, or any other such non-computer topic, do it in our Off Topic forum. The discussions in that forum cover a wide range of topics, but needless flaming and rude, mean-spirited posts are not welcome there, either.
Stick to discussing the deal. Do not post needless rude or trivial comments about someone else's posts. Flaming can only hurt someone's feelings. Nuisance posts, such as "In before the lock," "IBTL" or other needless bumps just recycle bad threads and force good ones off the first page of the forum.
Think before you post. Rude posts can kill a good deal. For example, posts for deals on sexually related items such as condoms and lubricants are ok, but if others cannot refrain from posting lewd or childish remarks, that would be reason to lock or delete the thread.
You're an idiot...do you have a sense of humor @ all?
