Maxtor is now part of Seagate. Right I think they are killing Maxtor.
Anyway, Seagate bought Maxtor to kill a competitor.

As for the failing rate, not so sure if Seagate is particularly bad or
not. But Seagate is the only one who offers 5 year warranty here in
Singapore. Seagate still has a big presense in Singapore even though
a large part of Seagate has moved out of Singapore (to Malaysia and
other countries). Western Digital moved out of Singapore long ago.
