Had a HD fail today and sure enough it was a Quantum that I had. That is the 5th Quantum drive that has failed. In all of the computers we have at home and at work we have only had 1 other brand fail and that was a 30 Gig. Deskstar, aka Deathstar. Granted most of the drives are tossed in a drawer and replaced with a bigger drive every few years but it seems like those Quantums were really bad investments. Haven't ever had a Maxtor fail on me and we have had tons of them in the last few years.
