I can assure you that this isn't always the fact. I have bought drives in the
last month from Fry's electronics, CompUSA and Local Mac stores in the last
month. I have 6 boxes sitting right here. None of them say anything about
Quantum on the outside of the box, and 4 of the 6 were Quantum drives relabeled
as Maxtor. I can send you a Pic of the labels. They all say:
Maxtor
Diamondmax/Diamondmax Plus
Buffer size:
Access time
Yada yada yada.
Nothing about them being Quantum drives.
I need to go take all these boxes to the garbage now. ;-)
