    Are not Seagate and Maxtor one and the same these days?

    Sort out your fucking attributions, will you?

    And in what way does removing the attribution lines completely equate
    to sorting them out? This is far from the first time you've shown
    yourself to be incapable of formatting a post correctly.

    Seconded, all my computers here are fitted with Barracuda replacement
    drives, and I've yet to have a problem. The Maxtor I had died after a
    couple of years use.

    Specifically Spinpoint series. Fast, reliable (IM not exactly small
    experience) and *QUIET* as well :)

    I've a pair of them, the SATA variety, happily spinning away. They
    are very quiet, you're right. I can't tell the virus checker is doing
    its thing unless I look at the icon; the only time I hear them is
    during heavy data transfer, but they're so quick it doesn't last long
    ;-)
