Title: Failed to format to NTFS - hangs at 73% for days
Product review: I'm a tech teacher and own 4x500 WD MyBooks, a 400Gb Seagate, 2 300Gb Maxtors and a few generic 250Gb drives. This Maxtor 1.5 TB OneTouch III Turbo Edition looks like bad news - it failed to format to NTFS, hanging at at ~ 73% for about a day. I tried a second time, and could see no indication that this drive will ever format completely. I just don't have the time to spend days waiting around for drives to format - they should do so right out of the box, or Maxtor should supply them pre-formatted for either Mac and PC. Rating: Not ready for prime time - "One Touch" won't do it!
