I also had a bad experience with Maxtor, though I admit I've only bought |
| 11 |
one in my life. But friends have also reported problems with Maxtore |
| 12 |
too. Ended up with the same read-only problem as the OP. It predictably |
| 13 |
occurred weekly after the emerge sync in cron. |

I use Seagate for SCSI, and WD for IDE/SATA and have never had a problem |
| 16 |
with either. |
