Title: Two Maxtor EHD drive failures in two years
Review: I had a Maxtor 60GB Personal Storage 3100 External hard drive I purchased about three years ago. It performed exquisitely-- very fast, very convenient. I talked my wife into getting an identical setup for her computer. In time, all my laptop backups and all of the home movies I created were on mine.When the wife's failed a year ago, I ignored this, thinking it just a fluke. She has bad luck with computers. I knew mine was treated with TLC and would last forever, so I continued to use it to back up my laptop and to store all my home movies. Then last week mine failed. Whenever it's connected to my computer it just goes "tick... tick... tick... tick... tickticktickatickatick" then starts again. All my stuff is gone.That's a 100% Maxtor failure rate. I'm going to purchase another brand.
