It's the last piece of hardware I need(with the exception of a fan or two) to complete my media production PC.
I need a good, reliable harddrive. It'll have to be IDE.
My price range is..well..I'd prefer nothing over $65..but I suppose $70 if I find a really good deal.
The size I expect is 200gb+ for the budget.
But..really..this poll is about the brand. Which brand do you find to be the longest lasting, most reliable, highest quality(& affordable) HDD. All of the other details I'll decide on my own.
By the way I already have a list of sites I'll be using for pricing so thanks anyway on that. ^_^
Thanks all.
ETA: Also, if you don't mind, could you post why you voted for what you did(and what you voted for of course). It'll also help in my decision. Thanks again.
Which HDD Brand to Get?

This is the reason i voted and use maxtor in most the pc's i build. I have a 10 gig hdd thats still working and if i need to find a smaller hdd for an older pc you can more or less guarantee that it will be the maxtor thats still working.Maxtor is also ok, I have old Maxtor ones that are about 10 years old...and they still work.
WD again. I've had one Maxtor HDD have bad sectors (we bought it like 3 or 4 years ago and I had no computer experience so I didn't know how to utilize it). I have 1 160GB Maxtor in my computer right now that's going to be my server HDD. And I have 1 external 500GB WD and a 250GB WD HDD that's been in use for just over 2 years now.
I've never had a problem with WD so far. I've also heard Seagate is a good brand too.
