I can only report my experiences from Germany: A few years ago I bought a Quantum ATLAS 2GB drive, it works fine, for a half year, than it get a head crash. My experience with Quantums service is terrible, I have to wait for more than 6 months for exchange of one of their "High-End High Quality server disks". 9 months later it dies once more (no head crash, it seems to be electrical), and it takes one time more, more than 6 months for Quantum to send me a new drive. Another fact: I was selling Seagate' Barracuda from the first hour and their first drives has really problems, about ~25% dies after a few weeks (the other running today also :), sending back, and it takes about 4 weeks to get a new one. These experiences with Seagate are continued until now. For me: No more Quantum.
