IBM 75GB EIDE Ultra ATA/100 LP Deskstar 7200RPM 75GXP

Strengths: Fast, Slick, Large, Reliable

Weakness: None

Basically “The Best” IDE hard drive money can buy, this puppy is extremely fast and silent. Add two of these drives to your system plus a Promise FastTrack 2 controller and you wont believe what you get.

A lot of trouble

Strengths: Inexpensive - initially

Weakness: MTBF

Three of my four GXP drives have failed. I didn't believe the doomsday advice I'd heard before buying these drives. Maybe there was some truth to the rumour after all. I can't speak for everyone, but my experience has not been great.

IBM 75GB EIDE Ultra ATA/100 LP Deskstar 7200RPM 75GXP

Strengths: none whatsoever.

Weakness: can't handle NTFS partitions

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS BRAND. I've had to returned my hdd for 3 times but finally I found a sucker willing to buy it from me so I sold that piece of crap for $50. Buy WESTERN DIGITAL instead, MAXTORS drives are good too but they are loud.
