Yochanan Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 I'll point out that all 5 Maxtor drives that I have ever bought (either for myself, or clients) has developed at least some kind of problem within 2 months of purchase (most within 2 weeks).When the last one I bought died (within a few weeks of purchase) my wholesaler also admitted that Maxtor drives are junk and swapped it to a Western Digital for me. 585322838[/snapback] I hear stories like this all the time, but my I've had my first 120 GB Maxtor for over a year, and my second 120 GB for about 4 months, and I've had no problems at all.

Jelly2003 Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 I'm not saying that they havent improved. It's been about a year since I last purchased a Maxtor drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Mossop Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 The family computer down stairs has a 20GB Maxtor and it has put in a stearling performance. In my computer I have a 200Gb WD which is quiet, although after a few months it start becoming a little louder. I also have an 80Gb Seagate. It's got liquid bearings and it's operation is silent. Only had that a few weeks though. So, all drives have operate flawlessly (*touches wood*). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metal_termite Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 I've had 3 Maxtor HDDs. Two are about 1.5 years old, the other is more than 3 years old. No problems whatsoever. They just operate louder than when they were brand new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
