The worst IBM or now Hitachi Global.

IBM is out, hitashi is in.

They'll always be IBM to me


Reputation is on a low indeed, but competitive pricing & good performance will bring that back sometime...

What about Maxtor reliablity?

I've always been happy with Maxtor, but I heard that recentky they have alot of problems?

Anyone more info about this?

does anyone have experience with DimondMax10 200Gb drives?


What are the current warranty-times (in years) given on all harddisks?
