Maxtor, no contest. As long as it's a real Maxtor and not a re-badged Quantum.  Germ

Yes I have had experience with Samsung and I can't say I enjoyed it. I had a 6Gb Samsung drive that lasted 8 months, my sister had one last 11 months, and my Father had one last a year and a half. Those were my first builds, so I guess I can say live and learn. At least by the time I hed real customers I had decided that Samsung drives were not going to work out.
