Title: Worst Hard Drive. Ever.
Product review: I've had two of these.See, I had one, and thought "surely no national brand would be this utterly awful" so when it failed (and it will fail, I assure you) I thought it was a fluke.Still, I wanted to be safe so I didn't get another one for the office backups. I did, however, get one for the home backups.Failed the exact same way. Apparently the drive itself will work, (or "work," as they call it at Maxtor) but the power supply / drive enclosure will fail. It will nto give any indication it has failed, it will simply never couple to your PC, server, whatever. The light on the front, however, that'll stay lit. No problem there.Seriously, these things are like a pox on utility. I have other brand drives which work and have continued to work in the space of time these pieces of junk have gone from new to fail. They're just awful.Stay away. I beg you.
