As far as I'm concerned, Seagate makes some serious bang for the buck (In the case of hard drives, of course), and they are in the lower price range of drives over here in Denmark. I was wondering if there was any analogy in the world of network cards. But Intel Pro sounds like something I'd like to have. Thanks for your answer :)
