Who make the most PCI tolerant HDD ?
My Vote would go to Western Digital drives/shrug.....
------------------
Help me get this Boot outta my azz!!!!
My vote goes to IBM - Anything but Western Digital (I've crashed three of them lately, two because of pci speeds(I suspect) and one because of heat (oops))

System tweaking, viking style :D
hell, i might as well throw seagate in there.. my 20 gigger (ide) takes 43pci all day long
I agree with D|sElMiNk, my IBM and Seagate is alot better than the WD's i've used...
Have crashed some WD even without having OC'ed anything...
I found that my Seagate drive (17.2GB Medalist) was absolutely crap at overclocking - that is, if I remember right...
Mind you, that was the cheapest type of Seagate drive you could get, so I did I expect?

Speed is everything - Warp factor 9, Mr. Sulu!
My vote would go to Seagate.
I thought some of the newer IBM and WD's are pretty much the same drives http://discussions.hardwarecentral.com/confused.gif
Psyduck, where are you? operation to remove metal plate from head? http://discussions.hardwarecentral.com/confused.gif
i think he got a penis enlargement operation http://discussions.hardwarecentral.com/tongue.gif

My Quantum 20.5 gig takes 38Mhz all day... http://discussions.hardwarecentral.com/smile.gif

I'll add to the quantum as well never had a problem hdd with overclocking
let me refine my advice... i agree w/ USS.. if you're going to get a Seagate Medalist you're gonna get crappy overclocking, but on the other hand, if you get a Barracuda or a Cheetah then you're set http://discussions.hardwarecentral.com/biggrin.gif
WD gets there platters from IBM, but other than that the drives are way differnt.. and its IBM all the way!!! here
