Seagate is a leader in this industry. WD is catching up, while Maxtor is a loser.

Maxtor is focused on selling cheap drives to consumers (small profit margin), while the other two are focused on enterprise sales and PC manufacturers.

And Seagate has a 5 year warranty! I guess thats probably why too.
