[Cialug] Maxtor drives

[Nathan C. Smith]

Does anyone else have the same disdain for the Maxtor brand that I do?  I
will never knowingly purchase a drive marked Maxtor.

We have an inexpensive Compaq DL320 I use to store and image drives from.
Unbelievably, it came with Maxtor IDE drives in it.  (It was from over three
years ago - I chose IDE over SCSI at the time because it was non-critical
and I could get more capacity for less $$$ with IDE). I have had two Maxtor
drives fail in the unit over the past two years.  I have had other poor
experiences with Maxtor at home as well - from before I knew better.  

Anyone have anything good to say about Maxtor?  Anyone else care to vent?
