[ale] Maxtor drives

[James P. Kinney III]

Maxtor had a problem with their 20G's a while back. I have had horrible
experiences with them. Western Digital and Seagate  have been _very_
reliable for my systems.

The new, really large Maxtors are supposed to be quite good. I have no
experience with them as I had such a bad one with the 20G.
