Seagate is really Maxtor, its cheap stuff, do not get that, get WDC , thx gg and gl,
I have an old 120gb Maxtor drive that still works. It was made in 2003 and served a ton of time in my PVR.
I've heard that Seagate was having quality problems lately, but I was willing to give them a chance on their new 640gb platter drives.
