Besides the fact that Quantum got bought by Maxtor, Quantum had several 
lines, some of which were quite good and some of which were not so 
good.  Quantum had bought DECs drive technology business and their high 
end drives were basically DEC technology based...  I believe that 
Maxtors, at least the high end SCSI drives, still continue that legacy
