Microsoft sucks at naming things. That's nothing new. These are the people that named their Java like framework ".Net" and named their sql server "Sql Server" making both a pain in the rear to do Internet searches on due to overly generic naming. We're just lucky they didn't name it GIFS.

Comment Re:Friends don't let friends drive Maxtor (Score 1) 458

I agree I've bought a lot of drives and my friends buy a lot of drives. Maxtor is the worst. I've seen more Maxtors die than all other drive manufactures combined. I had one Maxtor drive that I RMA'd 2 twice under the warantee period. When it died the 3rd time still under warantee I just bought another brand because I was sick of losing my data.

Maxtor - Blacklisted forever because of terrible reliability
Seagate - Fast, quiet, most reliable I've seen, but run so hot that they can cause hardware around them to die.
Western Digital - Fast, quiet, cool, but I've seen a few die. Luckily they usually die earily before they have much data or run forever.

What do you do when a whitelisted manufacturer buys a blacklisted one? Blacklist them both, whitelist them both, or nothing at all?
