I thought that was what the List was for during the winter... to see how
many different opinions can exist on any one subject ;-)

================

OK, now how many opinions can we get on this?

Which brand is better - WD or Seagate?  By looking at the reviews, it seems 
there are better reviews for Seagate.  Or are they just more vocal?  I saw a 
lot of gripes about WD quality.  I also saw good mention of LaCie, but there 
wasn't a lot of talk about them either way.

May the war begin....

P.S. I've been using SanDisk flash drives for a while with no problems.  I 
like the titanium Cruzer.
