The Maxtor that died was made by IBM. ;)

The one I replaced it with just says Maxtor, but looks EXACTLY the same,
just newer and bigger. I would like to get one of the new IBM or Quantum
drives, but I really don't have a big preference as long as the warranty is
good and not much gets reported as bad on the specfic model.
