    I'll definately backup that statement! I used to use Maxstor (boss
request) and Western Digital. After I had a bunch of failed drives from BOTH
companies (I've had them fail as soon as 4 months!) I bought a Fujitsu. Thanks
to a power supply fan failure it overheated to the point it failed. I "Threw
it" on the floor thinking it was dead. Two weeks later plugged it in for kicks
and it's STILL running today, ZERO problems. Didn't even have to format it.
I'm sold on Fujitsu drives! I've got a 30gb one now and it's noticablly faster
then the WD it replaced.
