Made by whom ?


Western Digital, Seagate, Maxtor...


All of which are brands history has noted for premature failure.

There's only one brand of HDD I learned to trust and that was Quantum.


Never tried one after their eighties problems with severe sticktion.
Loved their fix, too; make the motors pull harder to break the heads
