I gotta tell ya..I'd never ever by a Maxtor drive..They are pos9000
(piece of shit 9000)
I have always had Western Digital drives and never had problems..seriously..and I always put em in my customers pc's too..u
I have 3wd 120 gig hard drives in this baby now..all on a raid controller ..

IBM Deskstar was ok, and was one of the fastest hd's around in it's day..I have a 60 gig in here just because..

..it never died..it's my os hd

I have the 3/120 gig hard drives in removeable chassis (I like the chassis cause it's so damned easy to replace em or remove em)
I also put removable chassis on my customers pc for the hard drives..they stay cooler that way too..maybe it's a heat issue..
