Title: Maxtor hard drives do not last long
Review: Maxtor hard drives do not last very long. I have four Maxtor hard drives: a 1.6 GB (model 71626AP), a 2.7 GB (model 72700AP), a 13.6GB EIDE ULTRA-DMA/66 3.5LP 7200RPM (model 91366U4), and a 13.00GB EIDE ULTRA- DMA/33 3.5LP 5400RPM QUASAR. The first two died last year 1 month and 2 months after the 3-year warranty period. Called Maxtor and they would not do anything. The third one bought December 1999 occasionally mythically fails to spin up. I may have to get a RMA soon if it gets any worse.Maxtor's drives are relatively cheaper and its disk tools and on-line RMA are nice. Its disk has good performance when they work. However, I would give a second thought next time before buying their product if their products always fail immediately after the 3-year warranty expires.
Is the review positive or negative?
