Hey I'm looking at getting a slave drive, and considering either Maxtor 250 gig, or Western digital 250 gig. Any thoughts from anyone on those?

if your getting a western digital make sure its a SE the ones with out SE SUCK I see them alot i work at a data recovery store. Maxtors are good havn't seen many only the 30 and 40gbs diomand max 8's they always screw up. I like the seagate hard drives. never had a problem. and if your looking at a sata hard drive go for the WD Caviar SE16 SATA 300 MB/s hard drives

Does tiger direct have a store, or is it just online? I've never seen one in KW.

Yeah I checked their website, and I guess the only one is in Markham. Not sure I want to drive that far for a harddrive.
