Actually, some of the Seagate PATA IDE drives also have a 5 year warranty.
Otherwise I would have forced myself over to the SCSI side somehow. I know
the ones in my current "server" are 5 year.


I have had nothing but grief from Maxtor drives. I have not spec'd a
> Maxtor SCI.



Maxtor and Quantum have never been good to me. Interestingly, I think a lot
of that is more the Quantum aspect rather than the Maxtor -- not long after
the acquisition is when I really had issues with Maxtor's stuff at work --
probably the Quantum stuff renamed.

Worst experience: Quantum Fireballs: we had 10Gb versions, and a run of only
10 computers, but of those 10, only 2 ended up with the original drives
still in them. Of the 8 that died, 5-6 had a hole blown in one of the chips
that was not there originally.

I thought the line name fit perfectly... :-)
