Maxtor recently purchased
Quantum, so it is now the largest
hard drive manufucturer, larger even than
IBM itself. Officially the companies involved are calling it a merging, but everybody else seems to be of the opinion that
Maxtor purchased
Quantum.
Hopefully the
quality of
Maxtor's
hard drives will get better as a result, since at least I think Quantum makes (made) very good
hard drives, altough
IBM's still are the best.
One sincere wish to
Maxtor though: Please don't
raise your prices now that you are the biggest, I've really liked your price-policy so far.
