Seagate to Purchase Maxtor

The DM60 lasted about a year, then started failing to spin up unless it was held in reset for about 20 seconds. The D740X is about three years old and still works fine. Like I said - it looks like a Quantum, right down to the assembly style and printing on the drive cover. Were it not for the Maxtor logo, I'd assume it WAS a Quantum... At the moment, I'm looking at the Seagate Barracuda 7200 series. Maybe not the fastest on the planet, but they're supposedly very reliable.
