I agree with you on that. Ironically, the only two hard drives that have failed on me were Maxtors: a 340MB (yes, megabyte) and a 120GB. The former failed with the usual seek errors and whatever before a drive dies but the latter suddenly started clicking on boot and would not spin up. The only other drive of note is a 10GB Fujitsu. It's still working in my mom's computer but it runs _loud_. It's almost like a jet airplane. I generally stick to Maxtor or Western Digital (no particular reason, I guess they are just the most common ones I run across). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
