lol ,you guys do know that Maxtor is basically Seagate now and that they were acquired by Seagate in 2006?
Anyway,most hard drive manufacturers are pretty reputable now and I certainly wouldn’t single out Hitachi or Samsung if a nice deal came along.
Western Digital is done with the 1 year warranty as of August,desktop drives are now 3yr.

just because they bought them doesn’t mean the drives changed… for example, does linksys suddenly = cisco now? not even close
