Subject: Re: The Talk2 List maxtore drives
Hi Shawn:
No, there is nothing wrong with Maxtor, they are great drives. I would
trust any of my high priority data with them. You'll be safe to go buy one
and put all your most important stuff on it.
Once you get your data on your new maxtor drive, don't bother backing it
up anywhere else, because it will never die or develop bad sectors.

Hi all.
I have just found a maxtore drie going cheap at harvy norman.
about 170 bucks for 500gb.
I know there are bad things with these drives but I don't know what.
are they prone to falier I was origionally going to go with a
westerndigital or a sigate, both because I have had a wd arc whos case
has died and another because my friend has a sigate which is real quiet
almost non existant.
I need something that will store data, its going to be a secondary
backup, ie the drive will get data put on it and then after every 6
months or so I will power it on to transfer stuff over.
I hope to replace the case on my primary western digital and run it into
the ground.
I will be a heavy user of either drive though. so they need to last a
long time.
OI don't mind if the case power supply or case controler goe but I want
something that will not easily break with switches, etc and will stand a
reasonable ammount of abuse and ware.
Ok so I am not going to drop it and I will try not to take it away with
me to much if at all, howeverI don't want it to die for no reason just
like if I pick it off the desk and say forget to switch it off or
something screwy like that not that will happen however.
I know the western digital drives will power down when not in use, so
something that will do that or is so quiet that I won't notice it
running.
