Quantum Bigfoot is a klunker, if you have one of them give it to someone you
really don't like. The Quantum division Maxtor bought out was a BIG mistake
on their part but I've had great luck so far with the drives Maxtor made for
themselves.
The brands only I trust are Western Digital, Maxtor AND IBM. No one else.
My dad just got a new Systemax computer with a Samsung 80 GB 7200RPM ATA 100
HDD in it, so I'll be watching it but still the 3 brands I mentioned are the
only ones I trust.
Don't how relevant this is to the original thread but I refects my 9.5 years
of experience to date.
