I think that's Murphy and his damned Law at work again, I bought 21 Pc's for
the shop i'm part owner in and out of all the parts we bought the IBM
Deskstar's are the only remaining hardware that has a perfect record - None
of them have died yet.  This could be good luck, but I always put it down to
good quality drives, as for seagate and maxtor i'v had plenty of them die on
me, two seagates alone in my own pc!  In conclusion I would rate IBM drives
a little higher, as for maxtor vs seagate I recon they're about on par.

Cheers,
        Joe
