My Maxtor 80gig SATA drive that I've had for I believe four years is now starting to get a little noisier when accessing, reading, and writing. I almost hate to do a AVG scan or when diskkeeper starts up it gets rather noisy. Sometimes there is individual clunk sounds.
I'm looking into a Seagate or WD from Newegg. Of course it will be a SATA drive and I don't need a lot of space. 120gig at the most for me.

Your thoughts? I want to get one before something major happens. I want to be able to copy my complete old drive to the new one.

TIA
