Top 5 Hard Drive makers?...

Uh... in order of units sold...

Maxtor/Quantum merge will make them No.1
Seagate
IBM
Western Digital
Fujitsu

To my knowledge IBM has never been No.1 in sales, Seagate sat on that seat for quite a while until the Maxtor/Quantum merge.
 
Assuming you buy the best drive they have to offer...

SCSI:

1. Quantum/Seagate
2. IBM
3. Fujitsu
4. Western Digital


IDE:
1. Quantum/IBM
2. Maxtor/Seagate
3. Western Digital

Check out the StorageReview website for lots of information and its forum for lots of opinions.

WD no longer makes scsi but based in past performance.
 
hmm... don't think I'll post a list 🙂 Just don't buy quantum IDE drives. I've had approximately 125 out of 2500 go bad in the last six months at work. Not like its a bad batch or anything, they just suck 🙂
 
I've always bought Maxtor drives and have been very happy. IBM drives are quite good too I hear. But I've had many friends that have had problems with their Quantum or Western Digital drives.
 
Ranks of the ones i have owned

1. IBM
2. Maxtor
3. Fujitsu
4. Western Digital

Never used any thing else. So cannot give any openion about any others.
