That is my second HDD that brake down this week. First it was my Deskstar 28GB and now that one. Oh damn why always before Christmas?
Thank GOD that my 13GB Quantum is still working.

hmmm... ugh

A certain batch of the IBM deskstar series is indeed known for their early failures.
But Quantum, probably only the latest when they already made the Maxtor ones (I have had several Maxtors diamondmax 8 series failing) had problems. The earlier Quantum disks were superb. I have SCSI quantum disks like the Quantum prodrive with a 'giant' capacity of 150MB (only to indicate how old they are) still spining. Not one of the SCSI quantums I ever owned burned.
