RE: 300GB Hard Drives
Maxtor had very serious issues a couple of years ago where some of the
spindle grease would cause the head not to park correctly on spin down,
resulting in it burying on spin up. This affected 100,000's of disks, and
is still evident today (though not on their current models AFAIK). For
that
reason I'd not touch them, and I believe a major OEM feels the same way.

I like Maxtors myself - that's what I use most of here and I've not had any
fail (apart from one that I killed by plugging in the power when the PSU
was
on and got the power connector misaligned) - but I know that some other
people wouldn't touch Maxtors with a barge pole...
