Well, I didn't really forget about them per se. I just figured that I might as well limit it to the big three who have the lion's share of the market.

I know that Hitachi, Samsung, Fujitsu and IBM also make hard drives, but as far as I know, their market share is not very large.

I trust WD the most and don't trust Maxtor what-so-ever. I've seen entirely way to many go bad..

I sold WD for 8 years. RMA'd less than a dozen of the thousands of drives sold.

Had nothing but problems with Maxtor drives in sizes from 1gb to 10gb and finally gave up. Still have a 500mb drive from Maxtor thats 15+ years old and runs great, loud, but they all were back then. Back then WD was the drive to stay away from and Maxtor was the cream of the crop.

It's really a tie for me between Seagate and WD. Laptop drives are a whole different story, haven't found a manufacturer that I like or trust yet.

the Hdd had no branding on it and the serial code is just zero's and it's really heavy and feels solid, no hdd programmes can get a clear name from the hdd and it has never had data corruption nor loss and has never crashed oh yeah did I mention it is pretty dam quiet even when scanning with an a.v, it sits in my old pc in my room that I use every now and then.

Probably a generic Chinese/Taiwanese-manufactured drive.

Hitachi/Toshiba would be my first two choices.

I had WD and Seagate and they both been awesome to me and I did have a Maxtor, all what I had was problems. So to me Maxtor Sucks X_x
