All of the drives I buy, and use heavily, I stick to Western Digital.
In the current setup, I have 4*120 + 2*200 + 1*250 WD drives, running 24/7.
And untill now, I have only replaced a 120, when my S.M.A.R.T monitor told me it was accumilating some read errors.

But, I'm also running 1 Maxtor (300/5400) that a friend of me donated,
and it has been running well under heavy load.
So not all Maxtors are bad ( I hope....... ).
