I have -
1, 160gb Lacie porsh, died within 3 months.
2, Maxtor, 80gb and 160, had the 80 for about 2 years no probs and no
probs with the 160.
1, Western Digital 250GB, no probs.

I like the WD best for no other reason than the case. The case is bigger
then the others and looks well ventilated. Oh yes, nearly forgot, it has
an on/off switch, the Maxtors do not.
