Anyone have any experience with using the following HDDs w/ PS2 + HDLoader?

Seagate Barracuda 120.0GB Internal Hard Drive ST3120026A
Western Digital Caviar Special Edition 120.0GB Internal Hard Drive WD1200JBRTL
Maxtor 120.0GB Internal Hard Drive L01P120

Basically I'm looking for a simple compatible/non-compatible answer, although feel free to blather on with your opinions about each one if you feel it's important.

Thanks in advance.

Western Digital won't fit into the NA without taking off the metal plate of the NA. Maxtor will fit perfectly. Not sure about Seagate.

Is it safe to take the metal plate off?

Seagate worked fine for me.

The WD drive is the most expensive one for me anyways (yay discount), and I've had issues with Seagate drives in the past, so I'll keep an eye on that Maxtor while I wait for the HDLoader to get here...

Thanks tenchir.

edit

a quick search show :

Maxtor : yeah
Seagate : average but good
WD : yeah but you have to mod your NA because the HDD doesn't fit
