Out of 6 Maxtor SATA drives we've had, 6 have failed in the first 6 months. Yeah, we love Maxtor.... I would check their warranties, and go with whoever gives the longest. Maxtor: 2 years Western Digital: 3 or 5 years (depending on model) Seagate: 5 years. If the company that made them has enough confidence in them to give a longer warranty than anybody else, that says something to me.
