The idea for it actually came from BloodySunday. So, what one brand do you like the most? Why? That's this weeks poll. -------------------- d 3 b r u t s 1 d OCC: Xbox 360 // Xfire // Steam // Last.fm // Wakoopa // F@H // Rules d3bruts1d.com \| Profiles: XBL // LFM // FLX // FF // TW // PL // SV // Others

That thing has never ever failed me. unlike some other hard drives.

Don't even get me started Group: Folding Member Posts: 9,685 Joined: 1-July 03 Member No.: 4,758	though quantum shouldn't count, since they're now "maxtor" I still voted for them. I have quite a few of thier high speed scsi drives that have never failed me. maxtor is next. I've only had a hand full of thier drives fail. WD is okay, Hitachi is pretty good, IBM is now hitachi, and seagate NEEDS that warranty. thier new bearings are supposed to be so great, yet they sound like a rusty chain saw and last just as long -------------------- Some people are like Slinkies. Totally useless, but you just can't help but laugh when you push them down the stairs.
