Jules,
I've always thought Plextor made one of the best. But I believe the know

recently bought a Lite-On 24x10x40 IDE from newegg.com for about a hundred
bucks. Lite-On is a rather new company partially owned by JVC. This

I think you are being unfair, then.
Yes, failures occur in any product line or any manufacturer, but Plextor
has a reasonable warranty (I don't know if HP has cut their drive

I actually got to speak to a chief engineer at Plextor at one point,
