Quantum was bought out by Maxtor in the late 90s, or so. IBM also sold their disk drive division to Hitachi.
Ah. Thanks for the clarification.
Quantum was pretty decent, although never a serious performer.
I currently have three Quantum drives- a blank 80 meg ProDrive ELS model (with the Apple logo circa 1992), a 4GB drive for my G3 B&W tower, and another 4GB for my Win 98 tower. I need to check the model name for the other two, but they all still work (although the one for my G3 is finicky- sometimes it boots to the desktop - while other times I hear it stop when spinning up, and the computer hangs). All three were made in Japan.
The Seagate I pulled out of my iMac says "Made in China." Go figure.
I'm not surprised by that in the least. But I haven't had any of my Seagate drives (both vintage & modern) fail on me yet, so I'm pretty grateful in that regard.
