Oddly older harddrives tend to just work and work and work.. my 3.2Gb Quantum Fireball from 96 (yes it was bloddy expencive) or so haven't had a hickup.
You're last statement will however catch the eye of the "all crapps law" keeper and I can see him standing there adding you to the list of "things to come". ;-)

Seagates latest drives come with a 5year warranty so I'd say they are a pritty good buy. Got myeslf one of them 160GB ones not that long ago and it's pritty quiet.
Maxtor does not have clearance to my hardware... they whine, they smoke and often that adds up to they don't work. Now that said it's based on my experience of them in the past (haven't touched one for years due to almost lethal alergic reactions ;-)).
