RE: HDD Choices

[Paul Gale <groups2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Whatever you do go for, I'd strongly recommend getting one with a
longer warranty if you have the option?

That comes after replacing about 8 HDD's over the last year - all about 1-2
years old (I do have rather a lot of HDD's here!). Western Digital have a
great advance replacement warranty too that I've used a lot.
