Data-recovery is part of my job here. From my observations, Maxtor drives are most likely to crash or burn! I know some maxtor models which are irrevocably condemned to fail! I found Western Digital and Seagate have the best reliability. My be different qualities from region to region? WD hards being sold here (Iran) are manufactured in Malasya. In my opinion: Quietest = Maxtor Most reliable = Western, Seagate Coldest = Fujitsu Fastest = ? (depends on model) Best Regards, Bahram Alinezhad, Rudehen, Tehran, Iran. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Meet the all-new My Yahoo! - Try it today! http://my.yahoo.com
