I am using mostly Maxtor because they seem, at the moment, to have the best price/performance. I have also used Western Digital in the past, they make a good drive, but they fell behind the technology by delaying movement to MR (magneto restrictive) heads. While they have now made the move, they haven't caught up to Maxtor in terms of price vs. capacity. I can't believe how low drive prices have fallen, I'm seeing retail boxed Maxtor 5.2 gig ultra DMA drives at $199 (after $30 rebate). An 11 gig Ultra DMA drive is due from Maxtor shortly. It was predicted last year that we would have 20 gig drives by the 3rd quarter, looks like it could happen.
