We had 11 250GB Maxtors (roughly 50/50 mix of SATA/PATA) die in the last
year -- all within the 1-yr warranty period. It took many phone calls
and a bunch of maddening Maxtor mistakes (eg. sent us a box for shipping
just one drive when we 8 at that point... *sigh*) over a period of ~3
months but we did eventually get all the replacements.

And always read the fine print! If you return drives in a non-
certified shipping container (even though its already dead), your
warranty is *void* and you don't get a replacement.
