My hard drive died, so I have to get a new one 60-80 GB ATA (No SATA); Anyone seen any good deals?

The problem with cheap hard drives is that you are more likely to have to replace it. In that light, spending an extra 20% on it could actually turn out to be cheaper. I regularly have to purchase a lot of hard drives for our computing cluster and recommend Seagate Barracuda.

Good hard drives are relatively inexpensive now....don't be cheap Tim get a good one with more capacity. Seagate and Maxtor have some big guns fairly priced. I run three...2 Maxtor internal and a Seagate External. The Seagate Barracuda could be a nice choice...fast drive...get a bigger one too they don't cost all that much more.

Also, don't forget they larger they are the harder they fall...the more you lose if not backed up. But that is common sense right?
Edit: Heard through the vine that Maxtor is not too reliable and have the worst warranty?

I have used Maxtor drives for years (since 1995) and only lost one drive and it was'nt a Maxtor. Regardless of what you use get a good backup program and use it.

Maybe you are just hard on hard drives. Though I thrash my computer pretty hard and the drives seem to be fine. Could be that odd duck Mac you have.

That drive wasn't originally in the Mac...it was in my Pc, the decently recent machine;

You took something from a PC and put it in a MAC? Isn't that against MAC law?

Well if I put it in the Mac when it worked, it still wouldn't work in the Mac...although a Mac drive works fine in a Pc...
