: I agree with that...
: I have seen the same thing with Maxtor drives.
: The IBM's are good. Of course Western Digital and Quantum are always good as well.
: I have a Quantum hard drive story that should make a believer out of anyone.

I just bought a IBM Deskstar 20 gig a few months ago. It is fast and quiet, and IBM reliability is very good. I suggest spending the extra $40 or so for a better, faster, hard drive.
