I just find it weird.. never in a million years would I have bought a
Quantum (well not after the Fireball debacle anyway), yet I ended up with a
Quantum-designed drive in the end, albeit with a Maxtor badge.

It isn't as old as the DeskStars I've got dotted around (there's a 20GB in my
desktop, and another 15GB in the server) but it's been in use 12 hours a day,
7 days a week for the best part of three years and hasn't missed a beat yet.

If Maxtor still made them, I'd buy another two - I've got a pair of HDD
caddies that are just begging to have drives installed in them...

Later.
