Few of the machines we've sold are in 24hour use ,most of out customers
are home users ,they don't need military spec. The way things are going
drives more than 2 years old will be small to be of much use anyway
(think about it).

Being a tech ,I have a rather large dead HD collection ,not meny
Quantams or Seagates ,but I've got heaps of dead Maxtors ,too meny dead
Weastern Digitals(I love the little ping they make when there dead :) )
,100% of the Die Young's we sold(apptly named) ,and quite a few dead
Fujitsu's ,

What brand would you recomend?

Alecto.
