On the other hand, I've had a 160GB Samsung in my house server for over 
a year, on 24/7,
always spinning, reading/writing 24/7, very quiet, never had a problem 
with it...

Just replaced the Maxtor in my Myth box, as it was way too loud, with a 
250GB Samsung...

I've had 3 total fails with Seagate drives, over the course of two 
months a couple of years ago, and had my first Maxtor fail last week.

So I'll still buy more Maxtors, but will never buy Seagate again...

As usual, YMMV I guess...
