Oh boy, there's an unqualified opinion.  Seriously, how long has Seagate
owned Maxtor for?  Answer - 0 days.  The waiting period for the
anti-trust review expired TODAY.  Now they can go ahead and merge
product lines, figure out what's next etc.  Up until today (and actually
probably for a few more days still), Maxtor was more or less
independent.  They couldn't even share IP between the two.

Also, lumping all seagates into the same category as maxtor because
they're made by the same company is like saying that a Corvette sucks
because the same company makes the Aveo.
