I know you can get them everywhere in Yongsan, but is there a make that one should stay away from? I'm planning on buying a 320G+ this weekend. |

TBH unless you sit there and watch which HDD he puts in your case or make him show you it plugged into a PC you won't know what HDD is inside. For example I've seen people at Yongsan take a WD 2.5" HDD and fit it inside a Philips case. |

Personally, I would stick with a WD drive. WD's I've gotten recently are hands down cooler/quieter than the Seagate Barracuda's. My 500gb Seagate emits this very low pulsating hum, that is barely audible, but jsut loud enough to drive you crazy when you're trying to sleep. |

WD is THE best option available today. I used to be a big Seagate guy but their quality has dropped significantly over the past few years. Read the reviews, stick with WD. |
