Sort of re-posting a previous email.
I'm looking for recommendations people might have about hard drive manufacturers. Maxtor used to be one of my favorites until they got bought out by Seagate (which was one of my least favorites based on a series of failures we saw in about 2 dozen Sun workstations - true, it was many years ago, but still, the memories of the early morning phone calls linger). The My World Book has 2 Western Digital drives in it (seeing how it's sold by WD). I'm assuming both drives were new, but still, one failed a bit over a year after I bought it. So, right now, WD isn't too high on my list o' favorite drives. I usually buy from local reputable stores that have been in business for a looong time and avoid Toys R' Us for my computer equipment.
