Maxtor or WD?

For what it's worth, I've got a WD Raptor (SATA/150, 10000 RPM, 8 MB cache)
in my system and, aside from running a bit warmly, it's given me no troubles
in the approx. half-year that I've had it.

I've also a Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 (PATA/133, 7200 RPM, 8 MB cache) which
is nearly a year old and also runs without troubles. (I use this for my
multimedia storage as well as for backup storage of various things.)

Perhaps it's simply a fortunate coincidence on my part...
