I can only report my experiences from Germany:
A few years ago I bought a Quantum ATLAS 2GB drive, it works fine, for a
half year, than it get a head crash. My experience with Quantums service
is terrible, I have to wait for more than 6 months for exchange of one of
their "High-End High Quality server disks".
9 months later it dies once more (no head crash, it seems to be
electrical), and it takes one time more, more than 6 months for Quantum to
send me a new drive.
Another fact: I was selling Seagate' Barracuda from the first hour and
their first drives has really problems, about ~25% dies after a few weeks
(the other running today also :), sending back, and it takes about 4 weeks
to get a new one. These experiences with Seagate are continued until now.
For me: No more Quantum.
Bye
Stefan
