Yeah, I've had excellent experiences with Maxtor (*fingers crossed, knock
on wood*). I used to work with Western Digital at a local comptuer store
chain as a PC technician, and I wouldn't take one if it was given to me,
but that's just been my experience I suppose. Although, We used to even
have a name for a common problem to WD drives that we named the "Western
Digital Klunk", based on a sound it would make.

Anyway, you can get a 20 Gig Maxtor for less than $200 now.
