Personally, I prefer Maxtor.  I may get a few dissenters out there, but I
have had and installed several of these drives.  Recently I bought one that
came doa.  I called Maxtor, and the new drive is on the way pronto.  They
have a "No Quibble" policy about returns, and it's true.

However, I would stay away from Seagate.  My other recommendations would be
Fujitsu and WD (I have seen excellent performance from the Fujitsu's).  I
have heard nothing but horror stories about IBM drives, so I would
personally shy away from them.  Hope this helps.
