I think it goes in cycles. Anyone remember Seagate's old problems with sticktion? IBM has been mentioned, they actually made great drives until the deathstar line. I'm seeing lots of dead Maxtors these days (I help a lot of neighbors with their computers), but not sure what the cause is. I'm not seeing the problems that some report with Western Digital. Have several of their SATA drives, both 10k and 7200 RPM, in various machines here with no problems in the first couple years. I'm pretty happy with current Seagates (use several big ones for backups), but my old 15000 RPM generation 2 SCSI Cheetahs are dying. But, as the old IT saying goes, there are only two types of drives - those that have failed, and those that haven't failed yet. -- EricBergan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ EricBergan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4746 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24616 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
