Hmm- it would
be nice if they identified the manufacturer that has
notably higher failure rates, but I think I can make a guess (WD?)
I'll bet on maxstor. They had a sizable problem in the past few years
traced back to (as I was told) building vibration. I think it caused a lot
of the "first year" infant mortality (but I'd say infant is <= 90 days)
I'd bet on them too, from personal experience. WD had a lot of problems in
the past, but their new drives seem pretty good so far. I still prefer
Seagate though.
