Ditto. IBM screwed up for a while about 5 years ago, got their act
together, and decided they no longer wanted to be in that business.

I've had better luck with IBM/Hitachi and Seagate than Maxtor. Had a
really bad time way way back with some 230 MB (yes, million) Western
Digital drives and haven't been interested enough in a WD offering since
to give them another try.

Having said that, have (4) 300G Seagate drives coming today, (2) ATA,
(2) SATA. Have probably jinxed myself and those drives.
