Any vendors > whose drives do NOT cave in after half a year? ;) I choose Maxtor for several reasons. First off, I've been using Maxtor disks the most since I started out in computers and haven't had one fail yet (running every OS i've tested). Now that I'm alittle more experienced, I use Maxtor because of its standing credibility with me, and, because the Chairman of the T13[1] (technical committee for ATA[-ATAPI] development) is from Maxtor Corporation. They are most likely to want to adhere to a published specification (along with other T13 members), rather than develop chipsets that are rushed to keep up with a $25 billion a year industry.
