I am replacing the stock HD in my Compaq Presario 6450NX, which has
failed once and now SMART tells me it is going to fail again, it is a
WD1200AB-22CBA1.

What (reliablity-wise) is the best HD to replace this one with?

thanks

I've found the Seagate Barracuda IV/V/7200.7 series to be very reliable and
quiet. if not top benchmark performers. Ensure proper airflow over any
7200RPM hard drive.

Me too. I'm on my third Barracuda (third computer) and they have all
been very quiet and very reliable. It is true, as the other poster
suggested, they are not always the "top benchmark performers" but they
are very very quiet and very reliable.

Another happy Seagate Barracuda IV user.
After 2 Samsung drives that let me down, the Seagate is wonderful, 7200RPM,
whisper quiet, they get MY vote.
