Maxtor! Now, those were bad drives. I just went on to see the state of the industry. Didn't realise Maxtor bought Quantum (Fireballs were big back then) and then Seagate bought them. It's basically consolidated to Seagate vs WD vs small fishes (Hitachi, who else?). SSDs bring in IC vendors into the game.

Hitachi is also WD, as of 2012: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HGST
