Title: Not Very Reliable
Review: I have had nothing but trouble with hard drives made by Maxtor and now that they are owned by Seagate it does not appear that they have improved on the quality at all.I purchased this 500GB SATA II internal hard drive last November and it started to die in less than 60 days. When you turn on the computer you can hear the drive try to start up but that is all it does. I have to restart my PC 20 plus times before the drive it will actually start up. Lucky for me I was able to get it to start up and backed up before it died altogether.I would not recommend anything with a Maxtor name on it to anyone. My Western Digital drives have been working just fine and I should have got one but I was tempted by the price of the Maxtor unit. BIG mistake.
Is the review positive or negative?
