Back in the day I used IBM drives and they were super reliable. Too bad they stopped making hard drives and all the Maxtors, Seagates, Hitachis, and WDs came along with all their crap.
- geocrasher 5y agoIn the early to mid 90's, Maxtor was my go-to hard drive for any build. They went downhill after that, sadly.
- flyinghamster 5y agoBack in those days, Maxtor was on my good list and WD was definitely not. At work, we had to deal with prematurely failed WDs on our desktops all too often. It took a very long time before I'd consider a WD drive again, and then in the 2000s I finally tried them again. I've been mostly happy, but now I look kind of side-eyed at them after WD Red SMR fiasco. I was none too pleased when Seagate bought out Maxtor and turned it into their lowball brand.
