Stuck with choosing 1 of three drives

[ravage]

I don't know which of the following to buy.
Western Digital Caviar 160GB (WD1600JD)
Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 160GB (ST3160023AS)
Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 160GB (6Y160M0)
Also is there anything else in the 160GB SATA range I should concider?

Seagate

Can't go wrong with either WD or Seagate.

Ive got the WD and haven't had a spot of trouble with it since I first got it. Fast, quiet, big....

Asus 7N8X Deluxe 2.0
AMD 3200
1024MB Corsair Twin XMS PC3200
Leadtek Winfast A350, GeforceFX 5900

The seagate and WD drives are very reliable and great performers. Have you lookeded at the IBM/hitachi 7k250 deskstars? Apparently they are very fast and you can get them in 160Gb versions. Heres a link to a British site that sells them:
