I have used IBMs both at home and in the work I do... I have has much worse experience with Seagate and Maxtors than the IBMs Although I have to say I would buy WD for not having to worry about anything... I still have a 120GB IBM Deskstar which still works like a champ although by todays standard it is slow... Cheers!

Maxtor kinda sucks. I slapped one in an external usb casing and put up to store some backups. The owner of the website www.dragonsteelmods.com says that his maxtor COMBUSTED and incinerated his data. I hurriedly took off my backup and never used it again.
IBM "Deathstar" and Travelstar also sucks. I got a travel star in my lappy and it goes like slow and its 1A power drain kills my battery. |

They'll probably give them to their employees and "dominoes with storage capabilities" all Maxtors are really useful for.. i put a 10month 160gb IDE in my pc and it wouldn't notice it despite i've put in old Quantum 2.34gb's and Seagate 2gb's... it's in my brother's pc now... i've always prefered Seagate unless of course i have the money to buy a raptor....

Wel let me tell you guys somthin.
I have owned roughly 4 maxtor drives in 15 years and well all off them last 4+ years and only gave upo when the electronics did. Electronics are not designed to last forever. so get over it. Maxtor were a great brand. I never had an issue with em and most of the systems I installed maxtor drives in had little to no problems .
