I think we can expect worse from Maxtor now since Seagate's buying them. Nobody will be working very hard or diligently until they find out if they still have a job.....

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.)
