[mythtv-users] Hard Drives that Actually Work?

[nate s]

Another vote for seagate.  I have a 200G 7200.7 (PATA version) that's
been running great for a while now.  It is almost silent, very fast
compared to the 60G maxtor that I had before it, and barely even gets
warm to the touch.

On a side note, I've been looking into getting another of the exact
same, to perhaps set up a raid array, and I've notived the price on
them has gone up since I first bought it.  I guess they've been
popular.
