- Seagate (sleazegate) drive quality depends entirely on the model... most of the
- ones I have seen had all sorts of Quality Control problems... though the ST225's
- were pretty stable... Best I have seen are Maxtor and Micropolis, though I have
- no experience with other brands and cannot comment on them.
