| seagate or ibm? SATA will only work if you have a SATA motherboard. If it were me I'd buy a Western Digital hands down.

| seagate or ibm? Of the 2 drives you mention, I would go for the Seagate, as the Hitachi drives can be quite noisy.

| seagate or ibm? On closer inspection I don't think they do one, 32MB cache is quite big and new.

| seagate or ibm? If you really want the 32MB go for anything other than Seagate, I have had many fail on me.
