Actually, I've been a Seagate man myself ever since I bought my first hard
disk. In fact, I don't own anything without a Seagate in it, even my
PDP-11.
One of the few companies that simply continues to be better than the rest.
I'll continue to tip my hat to IBM/Hitachi drives though, those are pretty
solid too in my experiences with them.
Long live not-crap.

With Seagate to purchase Maxtor (which purchased Quantum not so long ago)
I
started thinking of all the HD makers that bit the dust ( Micropilis and
IBM
comes to mind since I have a few of each on the spare parts shelf shelf).
What do you guys think of the ever shrinking HD manufacturers, and what
were
some of the older good ones that are no more?
