Generic Hard Drives: A good buy?

[teutonicknight]

Take a look at this deal:

http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?product_code=300018&pfp=ADPRODUCTS

160 GB Hard Drive w/ 8MB of Cache for only 99 bucks, 100 dollars off with rebates.

Wow, cheap, I'm tempted to buy it, but is it worth it? Should I just spend more on a name brand?
Will a generic drive just die on me at the worst possible moment or something?

its probably Maxtor.

hehe looking at the rebate form, it is Maxtor. go ahead and buy it.
