hard drives

help anonymous!
 I wana get a nice big fat hard drive.. the 300gb ones floating around seem nice, but I dont know which brands are better. I know enough to avoid deathstars, but others? how about seagate and western digital?

Seagate offers 5-year warranties these days. Think about it. Your HD blows up four years into the warranty, i.e. 2009, and shucks, there's no exact replacement... boom, you just got a replacement 6-terabyte disk.

Anyway, for warez/pr0n/media storage you probably won't care about speed either if this is your "other" HD. Do mind your backups and temperatures tho.
