What's wrong with Maxtor? Thats what I'm running now. in fact, that's all
I've ever run with Linux. I've got two of them in my Mandrake 7.2 box here
at home. 13GB and 3.5GB. this things runs for months at a time without any
hiccups. I've got another machine that's an older Dell with a Quantum
Fireball in it that's a screamer.
but I love my Maxtors.
