[quote=Ren]The only other rule I have is, “ONLY Maxtor hard drives.” If a store-bought PC doesn’t have a Maxtor hard drive, I don’t buy it, which usually means building my own.

Wow, really? Maxtor is known to have the poorest quality of all the HDD brands. I guess you had good experience w/ them. 2 of my Maxtor died on me. My Seagate and WD drives are soldiering on though. Maxtor is also just a rebranded Seagate now. Seagate bought them a few years back.
