Out of 6 Maxtor SATA drives we've had, 6 have failed in the first 6 months.
Yeah, we love Maxtor....

I would check their warranties, and go with whoever gives the longest.

Maxtor: 2 years
Western Digital: 3 or 5 years (depending on model)
Seagate: 5 years.

If the company that made them has enough confidence in them to give a longer
warranty than anybody else, that says something to me.
