IBM or Maxtor? IMHO you shouldn't be worried about going with Maxtor. They make a great product. I have many of both products, IBM Deskstars and Maxtor 2500 & 2880 series, installed. I use the Maxtor 10 gig 2500 at home. I have noticed that the Maxtors seem to run a bit cooler than the IBMs. Storagereview.com and others seem to bounce back and forth as to who is quicker, but we are talking about raw numbers on a benchmark here. In actual day to day usage I doubt anyone could tell which drive a particular machine is using by working at the desktop (assuming current models and technology) Go with whatever is less expensive, usually the Maxtors. Good Luck Dan
