I replaced a WD last weekend. I have Maxtor, Quantum and Samsung in my systems currently. The oldest is a used 300MB Maxtor that has to be at least 5 years old. It sticks and makes a lot of noise when it starts up if it is allowed to cool down but it generally runs 24x7 so that is not a problem. WD is the only brand that I have seen go belly-up without warning. I am told that WD has recognized the problem and has applied fixes. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
