maxtor drives suck.

RAID is your friend.....replace the bad drive and let the thing restore off the rest of the array, w00t. And FWIW, I have been using Seagate since the first STS20 I had(20mb in my 8088 baby) and have never had one crash on me, ever. I can't say the same for Maxtor though, or even WD.

I love my IBM hard drive.

I've got two WDs and four IBM SCSI drives in my system- it hums along very nicely. Actually, it sounds more like a jet taking off.

My 540mb hard drive out of my old 486DX2-66mhz computer from 1996 is still spinning, right now, in my home router. It's on 24/7 and has never given me a problem.

And it's a Seagate.

Seagate and Quantum have been consistently good since the very beginning of hard drives. I've never had bad luck with either one. Hell, my first hard drive was a Seagate! It was a huge 20MB monster of a drive running on an MFM interface.

my quantum 10gb hd just stopped working... lasted about 4 years.
