I have a Maxtor 120GB external harddrive that's about a year old and runs beautifully. My internal harddrive (came with the computer) is a Western Digital 40GB and it took about 4 years before it started making any noises. And when it did start making noises, the noises went away after a good canned-air dusting inside the box. I'm about to buy a new internal harddrive to preempt any failures the original one might be planning and I'm thinking about going with Maxtor, since the external one I got is working so well.
