Ask enough people and you'll get all brands covered. If any one disk
manufacturer consistently produced bad disks, they'd go out of business. A
lot of people seem to dislike Maxtor: we used them for a long time in
servers without problems. What does that prove? Nothing, really. I was one
of many bitten by the IBM DeskStar (aka "DeathStar") drives, which put me
off them, but I'm sure IBM drives today will not suffer the same problem.
