What is the most reliable SATA 3.5" LARGE hard-drive?

Hi Guys.

I am looking for a large (400gb+)SATA drive to hold important data for years.
What is a reliable drive for doing this short of using RAID?
I don't need high performance.
Does SCSI still rule in this area?

thanks!

SEAGATE > WD > The rest >>> Maxtor

I currently am running two SATA seagates in RAID 0 and I'm very happy with them. I have an external WD harddrive that functions very well. My oldest and still running HD is a WD (at least 8 years almost constant running).

I recommend Seagates because they are quite, run fast, have a very long warranty period... and... and... well, they are simply the best in my book.

Maxtor... my brother had one that completely crashed within a year to the point where I couldn't do *anything* to save the data (asside from sending it to those chop shops the pull the data off) - which I didn't do.

I had an IBM harddrive (which I believe now belongs to Samsung???) that functioned well but crapped out after about 3 years.

SCSI is loosing ground now that SATA and especially SATAII has come into the picture. I don't see a long-term future for SCSI. My next HD's will be SATAII's in RAID0. *Seagates of course*
