I'm wondering what the best quality hard drive is. Requirement for good quality is that if you bump it accidently it doesn't screw up or if you move your computer around the HDD doesn't stop working.
I have a Maxtor that has been giving me problems ever since I moved. A friend of mine had has a Western Digital one in his computer and brought his computer over to my apartment to hook up to my LAN so we could play games together and it COMPLETELY SCREWED up EVERYTHING. Can't even format and reinstall anymore. (positive it's the HDD, put an old one and everything is fine now)
So what is a good IDE hard drive? I thought that Western Digitals were good but is that in the past now? Maxtors were flaky but I've heard good things about them recently. Seagate? IBM? Fujitsu? etc? Really curious. I want a HDD that can last a long while even if it takese a couple of bumps. (bump shouldn't kill a HDD anyway)
