On my small setup, I've had four HD die on me--one WD and 3 Maxtors. I'm beginning to wonder about Maxtor.
Don't wonder about Maxtor. Believe it. I've seen at least 30 Maxtors fail since September. There were two dead Fujitsus, and three Quantums during that time, and no WDs. I am recommending everyone avoid Maxtor right now. (Of course, this is based on one to three year old Maxtors, so it is possible that they have fixed the problem, but I'll let someone else test them.)
