Ok - I like the rest of some of you, I have been using these drives for some time. I have only used Maxtor and and have only lost one out of 6 in the two years I have been using them. (and wasn't that a bastard!!!).
I have read posts about others losing external drives (and the hassles with replacement and losing data etc) and am concerned.
My question - Given these drives unfortunately fail more than IDE or SATA internal drives - what's the reliabilty across brands such as Matrox, LaCie & Seagate for an external firewire device? Is there a website showing comparisons of performance and reliability?
