Even Tivo switched to WD after the Maxtor/Quantum merge.) There's always a group of people who have shitlisted brand X due to the way something failed, this is especially common in disk drives. I'm sorry you had the problems, but they're not indicitive of Maxtor as a whole, or we wouldn't be in business at all. I'm not sure how our account with Tivo looks, but last I heard we were still the #1 supplier of drives into settop boxes. I do think our new MaxLine III is a pretty hot drive, and it supports NCQ, (with big performance gains in server-type applications) so as soon as Jeff can get the ahci driver into the kernel... --eric PS: If you have issues in the future, feel free to contact me at work... firstname_lastname@maxtor.com, and I'll do what I can to try to help. -- Eric D.
