all maxtor drives I've ever owned have failed. Hopefully they have been making improvements. I've been using Seagate and western digital for a while and their fail-rate seems to be a lot less. I've only had a couple drives die.

Tried to avoid Hitachi's laptop drive since they failed on me 2 times, but I'm not sure how they do on desktop drives...
