Ditto. I've only had problems with Maxtor & IBM, and never with Seagate or Western Digital.

Well had the 1st gen TT...grew to small + all the technical probs. But sure the new one is a kick ass car, no doubt.
EDIT: is that an official pic of the A5 from Detroit MS 2007 ?
If so I guess ur right

It had tech problems alright. It was in the paper that a guy had saved for years before they came out and got one when they were first released. Cornered and something happened to the suspension. He was killed, his girlfriend lost her legs.

We got 2500 clients at work. I Mostly change maxtor and seagate HDDs.
Not just one kind/size. We have a bunch of fuxx0red maxtors, only a few Western Digital.
But of course, only 5-10% of our clients have heard about defagmenting..
Also funny with people I have to drive to, and just to take the USB in and out. And they say... "its the psychic support" eh.. wtf. |
<sarcasm> yeah, DEFAGMENTING (look, it says fag!!!) usually prolongs HDD life </sarcasm> |

Oh lets all jump on the Maxtor hate band wagon. Well I can honestly say that i think only a few of you have experienced problems like you're saying. I've had many many Maxtors and as I've said before in the past, I've lost two 30gb ones due to an electricity spike. I've got four in the gaming pc. One 300gb in my Xbox, another the same size in my PS2. A couple in my work machine. All I've ever used is Maxtors. The only reason I get rid of them is when they become out dated and too small for my current needs. I've build machines for lots of people all without problems and the majority, well not quite majority but about 40% are built with Maxtors. I've chipped about ohh 25 to 30 Xbox's and all have used Maxtors. Not one returned yet.
So please stop talking shit when you're slagging them off as my own experiences show that theres bugger all wrong with them.

Person A: Maxtor sucks
Person B: Nothing wrong with Maxtor, dammit!
Person A: Maxtor sucks
Who cares? It's just hardware anyway, get over it |
