Got an RMA number, they sent me a replacement - that failed too on the same day. So they sent me another replacement and it's working OK so far... Never had any problems with Maxtor, so my next purchase will be Maxtor. -- - Tony Sutton - http://www.hyperboard.co.uk - The Biggest Message Board! ------------------------------------------------------------- Do fish get cramps after eating? ------------------------------------------------------------- |

Apart from that I don't think you can beat Ebuyer on the 2MB price The closest is Dabs @ £80.52 http://www.dabs.com/products/show-ba...ve&id=17039377 I personally have never shopped with Ebuyer so can't say about their service etc. Never had problem with Komplett but their delivery normally takes two days and is about £8. It's suppose to be overnight DHL but normally gets shipped from Oslo I think ... well according to their track & trace ( quite amusing if you follow the updates online ) ... weird. Dabs on the other hand have always delivered next day in my personal experience and their delivery is less than £4 and items I've ordered have come well packaged. Regards Perplexed |

Over the years I've had far more customers back with faulty Maxtor drives
than any other make, and thats taken over a few years and a hell of a lot of drives. I would go for the WD every time.

wrote some or all of: In article , BORG writes can anyone beat that please Spend the extra few £££ and buy the Western Digital 8mb cache drive, faster, quieter and you get a 3 year warranty not 1 If you're upgrading an older PC whose BIOS might have a problem recognising a large HDD then there might be an issue if you need to install BIOS-overlay software such as is supplied with the non-OEM, boxed drives. Recently I've had to remove WD drives and substitute Maxtor because their software actually worked, whereas the WD disk management software didn't. Obviously a BIOS update is the preferred option. In my own PC I've had a problem with an IBM drive due to overheating. Two 7200 RPM drives can get rather warm... take care. Dave. 1650 free hi-res photos especially Edinburgh and Scotland.

Maxtor also happen to have by far the best warranty replacement service so even if it *does* go wrong it's easy and quick to get it replaced. If the faulty one can still be read from you can even use the advanced replacement service to get a replacement before shipping back the old one, thus giving you the opportunity to copy your data. It's Maxtor every time for me! -- iv Paul iv [ Mail: ] [ WWW: http://www.hopwood.org.uk/ ] |
