where to buy a 120 gb seagate hardrive uk

[mrwolves]

where to get a seagate 160 hardrive in the uk cheap, and with good service, i brought one a long time ago from a place called the savastore but after about 6 months or so the hardrive would not boot and started clicking, so dont mention the savastore.

I've been buying hardware from the following e-vendors for years without any probs. Only needed to RMA a harddrive to Komplett and router to Microdirect, both companys sent out replacements within a week.

Komplett

Overclockers

MicroDirect

Scan

CCL

BTW Due to crap reviews across the net I've always avoided savastore(dire aftersales). I still give them a miss when they were the only UK vendor with realtime stock of X1800XT's(and boy did I want one at the time).

thanks for links, very helpful hope i find a good one, i going to use seagate all the time now as i have a old one from 6 years ago and it still works

also what do i need to look for to improve performance on the hardrive specs, the cache size help as the one i ahve now is only 2mb.
