The Hitachi products typically receive a lot of love from enthusiasts. You'll hear some people cry "death star" but that was in the sub 160 GB Deskstar product line and people tend to hang on to their bitter experiences from 7+ years ago.Are the Hitachi Ultrastars even good to begin with? Before I spit hundreds, I'd like to have feedback from an actual human instead of reading crappy useless websites .... Maybe I post on the Hitachi HDD thread?!
