As a Hardware Engineering Tech who has replaced what seems like a zillion hard drives, I would reduce that list down to WD and Seagate, and I agree 10,000% with the negative on Maxtor drives. I had hoped when Maxtor and Quantum merged we would get Quantum quality drives, but alas, that never happened. Hitachi drives are not bad, but you can do better. Samsung may get there some day, but they are still behind the power curve compared to WD and Seagate. JMO
