Yah know, I've never had a bad hard drive company, and I've bought segate, maxtor, samsung, WD, etc.

IMHO, they're all okay except for the "DeathStar". That drive truly did suck.

BTW, shouldn't be "Western Digital area bunch of retards"? Your (ad)verb doesn't match up with your adjective.

Well now that you mention it, shouldn't there be a space between "are" and "a"? Also, "retards" is a plural noun, not an adjective. The adjective form would be "retarded." As in: "You are retarded."

EDIT: Oh yeah, and you missed an "it" in your first sentence there. "Shouldn't it be...."

Deathstar is a thing of the past. The Hitachi drives are head and shoulders above that mess.

That being said, I've had 8 Maxtor drives die in the past 8 years, and generally avoid them. I've got 30 Raptors (36GB and 74GB variations) and have only lost 1 in the past 2 years or so. 80 or so normal (both IDE and SATA) WD HDs in service right now, none of which have had problems.
