Maxtor make crap drives, I've personally had 6 of them fail over the years!! The latest was a Maxtor Mini 160Gb which requires 2 USB cables to power the bloody thing, then bombs all the time!! I'm now running 7Tb, all Western Digital, and not had a single problem!I vow to never buy another Maxtor, EVER!!
Im running an old 80gb maxtor temporary for now until I make some money to get a 500gb seagate or a WD. Yeah they do have a bad rep I had a 30gb died years ago.....got a 250gb IDE starting to get bad sectors, its not being used right now.
It doesn't matter how many great features Maxtor adds to their HDs, they suck and WILL fail sooner or later because they are cheap pieces of shit. My second one just crashed, 500 gigabytes down the drain. NEVER, EVER BUY A MAXTOR, THEY ARE THE WORST HARD DRIVES EVER!!! Seagate recently bought Maxtor, lets hope they can make Maxtor drives more reliable. Until then, don't buy Maxtor...period
Maxtor Aims to crash it/// they dont care about your family photos, they dont care about 276GB of music // I lost 276gb of music and had to pay for recovery then i got a wd raptor and man it lasts
Maxtor only aims to further the problem with their poorly manufactured drives. Their backup concept is the only thing going for them and it is essentially null and void since they will need a backup for their backup for their backup to protect against data loss and even that is not guaranteed with the quality of these drives.
Fix your danm reliablity issues Maxtor and who knows, I might just buy you one day down the track.
Ive never been more pissed then when this thing lost all my data, I had to remformat the damn drive every day, the backup software corrupted the thing, THE BUILT IN SOFTWARE!!!!! Maxtor sucks balls!!!!!!!!!!!
Yea but then if those ppl that steal the hard drive are real pricks, they'll just smash it up so u never get ur information ever cuz its broken!..So aslong as they made it of solid steel then this is a great product.
Yes, experienced a hard-down failure and Logan is right. Your life goes haywire especially if you work on your computer or use it for schoolwork. Go buy an external hard-drive and you can be worry free. FireWire is one of the best ways of data-transfer you could imagine, but those who dont have it are still not excluded in this product. Thumbs up for Maxtor.
DO NOT BY MAXTOR. I also almost lost my data due to WDC!!!

You can load it up with whatever you want, too bad the drives don't last longer than 2 months. CRAP.
