What 'other vendor' have you found that makes RELIABLE SATA disks in the

WD now makes a SATA RAID line. HIGHLY recommended by 3ware.
FYI,
Im using a Maxtor 6B200M0 200GB Serial ATA disk in a Shuttle XPC. FreeBSD 5.3R.
I'm having problems with this disk just after startup, and it seem to me its
related to temperature. Occationally, when starting up with disk @ room temperature
I usually get a handfull of the checksum errors listed below. If it been sitting in the
car for a while and temp is down to 15C or below, it wont start at all.
Just giving a lot more of the CRC errors, and usually a kernel panic.
I sometimes heated the disk with a hairdryer ;-)
The normal procedure is now to start the PC and stop the boot process, and let the system heat up by itself, 5mins usaually.
Any got similar experiences with the Maxtor SATA's?
If this is the norm, I'd rather stay away from these Maxtor products...
