i thought you said deekster

 

forgot to add that ive had experience and success with 2 wd drives
6 maxtor drives
1 seagate

 

there's a reason seagate has a 5-year warranty on their drives :chuckles:

 

ive had very good luck with my WDs. i have 3 120s right now.

my 40gig deskstar failed after 6 years.

 

I like Maxtor. My dad had a 40 gig hd sitting around from a few years ago (5 or 6 probobly) from his work. It had been dropped and they didn't need it. We only had the hd, nothing else. We called up Maxtor, they sent us a new one out within 4 or 5 days. 3 weeks later we got around to sending the old one back. We had no problem with them what-so-ever.

 

please provide some backup that shows maxtor drives are notorious for failing.

there's also a reason why they're #1. btw, read the fine print on their warranty. it's a sliding scale / prorated model

 

i love my maxtor and WD hds.

 

I had one Maxtor fail on me, but that was years ago, and possibly due to user error :rick:

WD has been good to me, never used Seagate before

currently using 2 Maxtor drives:

40g I've had for about 3-4 years
250g I've had for almost a year.

Neither have ever given me any problems.

 

all i use is maxtor and ive only had one fail. :dunno:

:knock on wood:
