This is a Maxtor HD that i took out of an XBox that plays weird sounds upon power being connected. It almost sounds like a modem dialing up.

  • @c0rrupts3ct0r555 But I will agree with you that IBM SUCKS.

  • @c0rrupts3ct0r555 Then I guess I just have a magic touch with maxtor after using the same one for 11 years. Granted, I have slave drives hooked up, because the memory I used exeeded that of the Maxtor's years ago, but my WD backups have failed before my Max has, and so have my slave drives. And I have the 80 gig IDE. NEVER has it malfunctioned, or even BSoD'd due to a virus. It's been working beautifully, as have the rest on seperate towers, for 11 years.

  • @hylianprincess7 it would jhust die later on, they like to fail without warning, my fix is get a really big hammer smash it to bits, then send 120v to the PCB and watch it fry. tons of WDCs that i have had work great fast no issues whatsoever my friend still has a WDC 1001fals 1tb that has a broken power connector but is still working great with 100% health and performance. lets see a maxtor do that.

  • @hylianprincess7 why? we had a customer at work lose all of her info, precious pictures and all because the stupid crapstor diamondmax 9 no longer spins up to full speed. She was very upset ( not at us ). But i have seen so many maxtors die its outrageous, i have never had ANY issues with WDC drives (except the scorpios and the infamous idle3 feature, disable it by running a DOS program). fuck maxtor , i stand my ground, just as bad as the ibm 'deathstars'

  • @c0rrupts3ct0r555 All it is is a seized motor. :| you can fix this stuff with the right tools!

  • @abhijeetsibartie It means your Max's media spindle got seized.

  • @DarkOmenz It means your HDD's spindle got seized up by something. You can purchase tools to unstick the motor.

  • @Katalyena FINALLY! SOMEONE that knows what that sound means other than me. = = It sucks to be called an idiot for what you correctly identify lol.

  • Maxtor music, beat that pos with a fucking hammer, it deserves it, Dont ever buy maxtor.. D:
