I like Maxtor. My dad had a 40 gig hd sitting around from a few years ago (5 or 6 probobly) from his work. It had been dropped and they didn't need it. We only had the hd, nothing else. We called up Maxtor, they sent us a new one out within 4 or 5 days. 3 weeks later we got around to sending the old one back. We had no problem with them what-so-ever.
