Title: Won't last!!
Review: I have owned a number of Maxtor drives in the past and outgrown all of them. This one is a complete dud!This drive has some great features: Raid, and triple interface USB 2.0, Firewire 400 & 800.Shortly after I purchased this, bad reviews about it's reliability started showing up online. I warned my wife to use it only for her video files- things that she could recover from the original tapes. Fortunately, that was all she lost when the drive died after just a couple months of use. When these die, the Raid protection does you no good, because the whole thing dies.It was still under warranty, and presumably because these drives are so unreliable Maxtor sent me a 2tb Seagate drive as a replacement. I am somewhat pleased to get a drive that doesn't have such a terrible track record, but the replacement Seagate has no Raid capability, and no Firewire 800. (Seagate now owns Maxtor, I believe.) I'll be saving my money for a Drobo or similar device in the future.
