Saw that HITACHI Deskstar 1TB Internal Hard Drive OEM is $68 TODAY FROM 1:00PM PT to 11:59PT at newegg.. What comments do you guys have about Hitachi and this particular hard drive? At such a great price I might have to sway from Western Digital just this once.
For the price it is hard to beat. In college I had one of these in an enclosure. It bounced around in my car and the cold of winter. It was working for a long time with the abuse I put it through. So I would say yeah go for it. FYI my normal choice is either WD or Seagate.
Hitachi may not have a great reputation, but I have had great luck with them...far more reliable (in my experience) than WD 3.5" drives or seagate 2.5" drives.
