Title: Never again will I buy Maxtor
Product review: I had been using Maxtor drives the past 5 or 6 years. Well let me rephrase - was using old Quantum Fireballs before Maxtor bought that company. So decided Maxtor would be my next purchase. I bought a 40 GB drive a while a go - it failed after about a year of use. So then I bought a 120 GB Maxtor drive. That thing died on me after 6 months, destroying a boat load of data that took me months to get bac (some I would never get back).The drive gets too hot, and is fairly noisy. One the other hand, I have recently been using a Hitachi/IBM drive and it has been rock solid.I will never buy another Maxtor drive.
