Didn't Maxtor go belly up a few years back?
They were assimilated by Seagate. Seagate now uses the Maxtor name
to brand their lower-end drives.
I remember something of the sort as the original Maxtors had high
failure rates. Count two of those in my history.
Don't know how old you are but in the late 1980's/early 1990's,
Seagate was producing a lot of junk as well. Back then IIRC, Quantum
was the brand to get... Never had a failure with one of those.
