Seagate vs. Maxtor
 

Hi,

Should I go with Seatgate or Maxtor HDD for my PS2?
Somebody recommended Seagate over Maxtor because it's quieter and more reliable. The only concern I have for Seagate is that I heard it doesn't work with some of the newer network. I was thinking of getting ST3200822A, would it work? I checked out the compatibility list, and most people said it worked although one person said it didn't.

Anybody had experience with this HDD?
Maxtor is guaranteed to work, but I think there is a batch out there that's bad. Most people are happy with Maxtor ,but some gave it really bad reviews.
Any recommendations between the two?

Thanks

Woo, you asked the same question in a post below.

Yes, That's true. But, I felt that I didn't really get the answer I was after. I thought it may be because it was embbeded in another long thread. Is it against the rules? Should I remove the thread? I'm not sure how, though.

I'd like to know which one is best although i am tempted with a Maxtor for some reason.

But what i'd really like to know (that is if i'm allowed to ask it), is how to bypass the 137Gb limit, and then i would like to know what the max limit is after it has been bypassed...

western digital then maxtor are the best

a friend gave me a Seagate 6.4gb hard drive and it works fine in the PS2. On HD Advance screen it shows it as a 6gig HD butafter formatting it then it shows only 4 gig available. Is that right? Also i cant get the New Socom maps to download to the HD. It says 'HD failed to initialized'. I have saved a demo game to the HD. I also tried saving a dvd-r game but it comes back saying 'bad game' or something similar.
