In the past, the "noname" hard disks at CompUSA have been Maxtors, but who can really tell in this case.
Not much of a deal at all, considering I can get a 300GB SATA Seagate HDD w/8MB cache for $105. I think the better brand, better interface, better warranty, and better cache are worth the the extra $5

It's really hard to tell. First, the picture they show is for an old tape-seal style drive. So the picture doesn't match the actual product. Secondly, there are third-party vendors that purchase failed hard drives from hard drive manufacturers, recertify and relabel the drives themselves. Stay away from these drives!

I'm probably dreaming here, but do I recognize the "Connect" name as a firm that is subcontracted by various drive manufacturers to repair their drives? Unfortunately, Google isn't shedding any light.Buck said:

Seagate, Maxtor and WD primarily use Solectron. However, from what I've found, Solectron doesn't act as a sub-contractor. They actually purchase the drives, refurbish them, and then sell them as white label drives with their own warranty.
