We have two Maxtor Panther drives and not had any problems.  We also have two  
Fijitsu drives.  We purchased our drives from TECOR.  They provided a 5 yr  
warrenty for our Maxtor drives...

=>Hard Drives International is a good source, albeit expensive (but you can

=>who also will sell you drives, but it can be difficult to make sure the
=>drive is new, and not collecting dust or something.  A place called
=>AmeriTek advertises in Computer Shopper & PC-Week and seems fairly cheap,
=>but their ads only go back to mid-1991, Jan & Feb 1991 PC-Week did not
=>have any ads for them.  I'm looking for any recommendations people have.

Check out TECOR.  They have good prices.  Good company to deal with...
