humnnn,,....... might be 'reliable' ... defiantly sure its not MOST ,,,,
and since , SEAGATE & WD are now ONE COMPANY and often HDs are made @ the same PLANT NOW!! ,,,,,,,

Memory , I can CLEARLY say from using GSKILL's and KINGSTON's Hyper-X , nothing so far has come close to consitant speed and error freee.... from HyperX in our 1200+ laptops over last 4 yrs+ (since hyperX came out) ,,,,

I do agree; however on PRICE/Speed , Gskill's memory are cheaper! > but then you get what you pay for !

newegg = super super reliable and far beyound everyone - any e-store out there !! love 'em! I been their customer even before they mor'ffed into NEW'egg' ,,,,,:P

just my 0.02c worth!

Cheers everyone > happy black friday !

are you drunk?, the newegg reliability data from many thousands of user reviews make the reliability record of these two exact components quite clear.

I didn't say that WD drives are across the board the most reliable brand, I just listed a specific model of RAM and HD that are.

your own opinions are from one person, the data I listed represent 1000's of reviews, so I appreciate your input, but 1 more opinion isn't going to change a clear statistical reliability trend from thousands of people's input.

just because two hard drives are made in the same plant doesn't mean they have identical engineering, etc.

besides, have you ever had a failure from either of the exact two components I listed? - no? - didn't think so!

I can find no reporting that "SEAGATE & WD are now ONE COMPANY" that share manufacturing plants.

Source?

good catch! - he's nuts!

I researched Seagate & WD for an hour online and these two are the fiercest of rivals, they share nothing but lawsuits against each other

Apparently there are just 5 distinct drive manufacturers now: Seagate, WD, Hitachi, Toshiba (acquired Fujitsu's storage division) and Samsung.

He was probably confusing WD with Maxtor, which was acquired by Seagate in 2006

the newegg reliability data from many thousands of user reviews...

257 reviews for the ram and 216 for the hard drive are a total of 473 reviews rather than "many thousands".

a total of 473 reviews rather than "many thousands".

Nope!

Remember that you are comparing the reliability of ALL 7200 rpm laptop drives compatible with the T60 and ALL PC2-5300 T60 compatible laptop memory, not just the models I specified.

This is where the "thousands" of reviews comes in, statistically speaking!
