while i agree that WD is a good brand I personally have always been a fan of 
Maxtor.

I know that maxtor is usually not the "fastest" when compaired to WD but we 
are talking about small margins here.

Dont get me wrong I've had WD, IBM, and maxtor HD's die on me before.
Maxtor drives all (even OEM) come with a 3 or 4 year (cant quite recall) 
warranty. I cant really speak for WD recently, but my WD that died was out of 
warranty and it wasent 3 years old.

My maxtor 40Gb died, i got an advance rma (they send you new drive first, you 
give them your credit card # it is charged if you fail to return old drive). 2 
Days later i had a 60GB replacement and i sent back my old drive.

The last thing i know is that maytor drives are about $10 cheaper then their 
WD counterparts, but then again i've bought all mine OEM.
