I'd like to upgrade my internal hard drive on a Mac 533MHZ G4.
Any recommendations? I'm turned off on Maxtor after the double beep "death" fiasco.

Hi, I put in a WD/80gig/8meg cache, Its quiet and fast and has a long warranty.

Can't go wrong. http://www.westerndigital.com

nikki,

What is the "Maxtor after the double beep "death" fiasco."

Does WD still have a 3 yr warranty, or has it been reduced to 1 yr like the rest of them?

Hello Del. Welcome to the Forum.

Yeah. WD would be fine.

I stll like Maxtors the best.

But I think that's kind of a Ford vs Chevy thing.

All drives can fail. And do.
