All 4 of my internal drives, both USB enclosures, and all but 2 of the last 5 systems I assembled, are using Maxtor drives. Most of the "upgrades" that I do for people as well. Of the lot I've only had difficulties with one of the multi drive systems, an older Compaq that I added 2 Maxtors on the same IDE channel. One was installed to replace a dead original disk. The trouble was due to defective drive(s) that were RMAed by Maxtor quickly and without problems. > I don't know where, but have read something that is not good with Maxtor > hard drives. Maybe here also google is your friend? It's worth a shot I suppose but as stated I've never had major difficulties with Maxtor drives. I think something else is the root of the problem. I've seen people have screaming fits when setting jumpers on Maxtor drives since the diagrams on their web site suck. Just be certain you slide the jumpers on the correct pins.
