To compare prices of drives Janet would take all day but a brief encounter* with a search engine will show that generally, Maxtor are the least expensive and suppliers usually stock them for that reason. Manufacturers too who produce thousands of PCs every week will look at each component cost and select the lowest price and although there may only be a few dollars difference between a Maxtor and a better quality drive, multiply those few dollars by thousands and you can draw your own conclusion. I believe you mentioned once that you have Dell machine? In my humble opinion, if Dell spent more on what they put inside their PCs instead of spending millions on unnecessary advertising, they would provide a more reliable product with higher quality components and better specifications. Elsewhere you mention that you have had a trouble free Maxtor drive since 1998. This is quite possible, they don't all fail but the odds are not in their favor. I believe you have had subsequent Maxtor failures if my memory serves me? > Can we rely on information that is supplied to us from another > country? I for one am very happy to accept information supplied by any country. Xenophobia is not one of my attributes and since this group is made up from a very diverse geographical distribution, the source or origin is of no consequence if I believe the source to be knowledgeable as to what he or she is talking about.
