[Cialug] Maxtor drives

[Nathan C. Smith]

If I want quiet I buy Samsung.  I'm guessing they are probably somewhere
between WD and Seagate on quality spectrum.

My only problem with Weeknees and QuickView is the price.  $120 for 120GB?
You can get other drives of the same size for about $70, maybe even less
depending upon deals available.  $50 for quiet drives seems a little much
considering my Samsung drive is pretty quiet, and I paid under the average
price 2 years ago (which was $120 then).
