Customers prefer one brand to the other, often because of historic and one-time bad experiences.
Yet, some other customers may just have the exact opposite brand preference. Therefore, we suggest going with the highest gigabytes for your buck in choosing hard drives, instead of brand. However, be careful in where you buy. Some manufacturers have restrictions on how warranty is done with OEM hard drives. Some of them only honor the three-year warranty if they are purchased from an authorized distributor or registered reseller.
