Achtung Herr Krings! (Or should that be "Kroenigen"?) : )
I've got two Maxtors, which have given me no problems. Constrast this
with the current recall order on Western Digitals, and the two WD
2.1Gig.s that crashed semi-simultaneously on me.
My sources tell me that there aren't any really good IDE drives anymore,
except maybe IBM, so it's going to be a crapshoot no matter what.

Hi !
Working with hardware setups on a daily basis i warn everyone to
purchase
a Maxtor drive, it is really not worth the low price. If i had problems
with a harddrive in the past years it was because it came from Maxtor.
So
if you want more disk space, get it from a better company - and you will
get some customer support, too. Dunno why, but Maxtor sucks in any way
(excuse my german ;) ).
