I am going to get a 160 Gig. drive but noticed that the WD was cheaper than the Maxtor. But Maxtor never fails me. The modle # I am looking at is WD1600JD. WD1600JD Has any one done it yet or know if it is compatible.

I have installed two Maxtors 1 200 Gig and 1 120 Gig both went very smothe and didnt have any problems what so ever. That is why I am hessitent with the Western Didgital. And as for the sound my is no louder then when I bought it.

I'm a Seagate man too, long time Seagate buyer. However, I've never had any real problems with Maxtor or WD.

lol... just to summarise: "Pick whichever one you want!"

Personally i use a Western Digital - I've had a few bad runs with Seagate and never used Maxtor - but i hear Maxtors are quite good and Seagate have improved.

So yeah - take your pick.

LOL The hard drive topic is so much fun no mater what type of forum you talk about it on....

EVERYONE has had a hard drive go bad and as a result they hate that brand and swear by another brand. Just get which ever you like better and or is bigger/cheaper. WD Maxtor Seagate its all the same.....

Seagate Seagate Seagate!

Unless, of course, you like the sound of a v12 engine coming from your xbox...

Well it seems to me that my Maxtor 200 Gig and my friends Maxtor 120 Gig work fine and are silent. But I do have two 30 Gig Seagate Baracudias in my desktop and I love them. And my laptop has a 60 Gig Western Didgital. I love them all. But I think I am going to stay with Maxtor for the XBox because I havent had any problems with them at all.

I have 120G Maxtor, a friend has 160G Seagate, and another has 250G WD. All work the same. Just buy the one on sale.

I had to get a replacement maxtor drive as I thought my pc was off and I went to plug the power into my 120gb Maxtor. it didnt power up so I got it sent away and I get a lovely 200gb one back which wasnt accidental.

im surprised they aint like other shit companies that would have you wait forever till they have some to ship excellent customer service.

I have a seagate in my pc and my original xbox HDD is a WD.
