Western Digital created some of the first hard drives- (before PCs)- the company changed their name to what it is now in... um, early seventies, 71.

Maxtor was incorporated in 82.

Also- they concentrate more on size as opposed to speed, a SOMEWHAT flawed outlook, on my view.
Not to mention- they were near bankruptcy in 1992, and acquired Quantum.

Also- your argument on maxtor being better then seagate is kind of silly, since Seagate bought out maxtor anyway...

My favourite is WD, but if I had to pay more for a equivalent WD as opposed to another WELL known brand- I wouldn't.Wouldnt have been bought if it did get bank rupt.never said they BECAME bankrupt. said they were NEAR bankruptcy.oh but cause of that it allowed them too manfuacter maxtor drivers that arent maxtor backed.....Quote from: squall_01 on November 21, 2008, 10:18:31 AM
