Title: Look elsewhere
Review: I got this drive to replace another 200GB Maxtor drive of mine that failed (internal). Surprise surprise, the one-touch external 200GB drive failed on me, after only seven months! I guess I didn't learn my lesson the first time. In both cases, with both 200GB maxtor drives, they just suddenly "lost formatting." Maxtor claimed Windows 2000 was at fault, though I'm using Service Pack 4 which should eliminate any Windows related problems dealing with drives of this size. I rarely say "never again" when it comes to a particular brand, but after this recent failure I'm swearing off Maxtor altogether. Some people prefer Seagate or Western Digital, but if you read the reviews some of their HDs are unreliable as well. The best advice I received was from the technician who will be performing the likely $2000 + data recovery attempt on my hard drive: "Make sure to get a drive with a five year warranty. If you could look at the insides, they're like night and day."
