: Hi Guys,

:    I need to buy a 2 Gig EIDE drive and I have a choice between:

:    Quantum
:    Seagate
:    Maxtor

I have had problems with Maxtor working with other drives as master/slave. 
Seagate seem to be OK, but I've noticed a tendency to overheat and die on
several different models (other drives in the same bay worked fine).  I've
never had a Quantum drive fail, but then maybe I've been lucky, but
they're were the most reliable based on my experience.
