Wellll, I might recommend you try for something with a little more memory
For the most part it is somewhat difficult to determine if a drive will be good for you or not, since they all have troubles of one sort or another and are primarily manufactured by 2 companies, Western Digital and Seagate, despite what the name on the product may say. For example..Maxtor=Seagate
I absolutely hate Seagate, and this is because of the Barracuda, which is in everything and it is not so much a quality issue as it is knowing that a product is defective and still pushing it, and hey, if you have a problem, Thailand is only a plane flight away.
If I am buying a drive I will generally go with WD not because it won't fail, but I have a better chance of getting it replaced. Shipped from Thailand.
"Lawsuits have been filed against hard disk manufacturers Seagate[21] and Western Digital,[22] related to the claimed capacity of their drives. The drives are labelled using the "decimal definition" of 1000 bytes to the kilobyte, resulting in a perceived capacity shortfall to those used to the "binary definition" of 1024 bytes to the kilobyte, which is how most operating systems report capacity.[23] While Western Digital maintained that they used "the indisputably correct industry standard for measuring and describing storage capacity", and that they "cannot be expected to reform the software industry", they agreed to settle in March 2006,[24] with a $30 refund to affected customers in the form of backup and recovery software of the same value.[23] A disclaimer is now included with all drives explaining the capacity figures."
In case anyone was wondering why their drives always come up short.
