My experience has been that western digital fucking owns maxtor. First HD in my current comp was an 80gig, I had another maxtor 200gig slave. They both fucked up. Now im using a 80gig Western Digital and its smoother thatn the Maxtor ever was.

FYI its Fix Often Repair Daily

and its a falicy there is any big difference between hardrives. they all occasionally go bad and ppl will rip the brand they had one bad personal experience. BTW i have Ford and Porsche in my pc and never had a problem, go figure.

If you have a choice, go Seagate, they now have a 5 year warranty on there HD's. Most warrantees cover only 1 to 2 years and 5 so 5 is really up there. This might not be in the Seagate documentation, but if you check there website it now states this, they just made this change like last month.

googled the link

Thanks for the information. Unfortunately, I already bought a Maxtor. But now I know what to look for in the future. Thanks.

Whatever you do-- DON'T get a Maxtor. Get a WD, Hitachi, or Seagate-- in that order. Maxtor have been proven multiple times to fail; and go to www.newegg.com for the harddrive. Or, wait until the weekend and then go to Fry's. Fry's always has huge ass sales during the weekends.
They usually adjust them below retail to get customers to come in-- so, go with either New Egg or Fry's.
