Hello

I am looking to buy a new 120GB Hard Drive for my box but am wondering if there are any brands to avoid? I am think of a Maxtor at the moment but was wanting to check if they are ok to use

Xbox Version: v1.1
Personal choice: Seagate Barracuda. Very, very quiet (possibly the quietest drive I've never heard) and usually lockable (although if not using MS Live, don't bother - that way you can recover the drive if anything happens to yr box).
Supposedly run cooler too.

Xbox Version: v1.0
360 version: v1 (xenon)
yeah, go with sea gate, maxtor, and i have heard that western digitals work good, i beleive (someone correct me if im wrong), you want a 7200 rpm, 8mb or larger cache, and if you want my opinion, go with a 200+ gb hdd, 120 is a lot, but if your a heavy gamer it runs out quick, it took me 4 days to fill up a 80gb hdd and a 120 wouldnt take to much longer. just a suggestion
