I have an ASUS P4C800-e mobo. I may buy a second drive in the future for a RAID 0 array. Right now, mostly for backup. I've been looking at the following, though other suggestions are welcome. Let me know which one you would go with.

Of those three I would go with WD, I like WD and taht one has 16MB of cache. Otherwise I would go withy Maxtor

With two maxtor drives failing now, I'd have to go with the WD.

I've also had two Maxtor 250GB drives fail on me. So I vote for WD or Seagate.

WD has always been good for me.
