Hi All, I have a sneaky feeling that my hard drive will be an ex hard drive=20 soon, so I am going to pre-empt disaster and but a new one now. My current one is a 5400 rpm SATA 2.5" 160GB drive by Toshiba: http://bit.ly/iJMH2q=20 The one I am considering (or something like it) is a 7200rpm 250GB one: http://bit.ly/jH5n6c I don't care too much about cost or capacity - my main concern is with=20 raw speed and reliability. It will be on 24/7 like this one has been for=20 the last 2 years and used constantly. So, any advice? Who make the best drives nowadays? I will (probably) be buying in the next hour or so (would like it=20 tomorrow if possible) so some quick thoughts would be great.
