Whoa that sucks!! I figured if Best Buy did it everyone else would hehe.. The ones I saw said Maxtor at the top like yours but where it said Diamondmax/Diamondmax plus they were marked Quantam something or other on em.. Shit man now I gotta watch out for what I buy too, its about time to add a new 60GB drive just for audio hehe..
