Rant Mode "On"....I Hate Maxtor Drives!
Sorry, but I have to vent...
Just had two Maxtor drives fail this week...an old 20GB (no surprise) and a newer 200GB. I had an expensive 300GB Maxtor fail about a year ago. No data loss - I keep everything backed up, but still an aggravation. I have much better luck with my WD, Hitachi or Seagate drives - no failures that I can remember. YMMV, but in the future, I am sticking with Seagate drives with 5yr warranties.
