OK, I just put water cooled in the topic so this would get read. The other forums just don't have the same number and quality of posters.

In everyone's opinion, what's the best hard drive for RAID between:

Western Digital Caviar 7200/ATA100 WD300BB 30gb or WD400BB 40gb
Maxtor DiomandMax Plus 45 7200/ATA100 30gb or 40gb
Maxtor DiomandMax Plus 60 7200/ATA100 30gb or 40gb

I'm leaning towards the Western Digitals, but not sure .. I hear mixed reports of both WD and Maxtor being awesome and being terrible. The WD's are a couple dollars more but not much, and I'm getting either at cost (promotion from work) so this is why say IBM Deskstars aren't in this list

Thanks for any input!!!
