I own a small business that builds custom desktop computer systems for home and business use. And I have had excellent success with Seagate (Love the 5 year warranty) and newer WD I wouldn't touch them for years but now I even have one in my own computer. Maxtors Suck I Have made alot of money replacing conked Maxtors with Seagates. One small business I contracted for had bought 4 machines for $1200.00 each before they hired me and after all four of the maxtors hard drives that came in the sucky dells failed they decided that mabe they should have had me build them custom computers in the first place.
