I personally have no experience with Maxtor, but I've just heard bad things said of Maxtor - one guy had a Maxtor die, and each time he gets it replaced, the replacement dies (reported at www.harddrivehell.com). I still wonder if he has a problem with his power supply or something that's causing this damage. There's also apparent evidence that the Maxtor hard disc driver is defective. Likewise, he believes Quantum drives to be just as bad now that they've been taken over by Maxtor. I'm not personally verifying any of this information, but I just feel concern that keeping quiet might lead to a bad decision and lost data. *shrug* ----------------------------------------- Email provided by http://www.ntlhome.com/ -- StarMax is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... / Buy books, CDs, videos, and more from Amazon.com \ / <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect-home/lowendmac> \ Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> StarMax list info: <http://lowendmac.com/lists/starmax.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/starmax%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
