One of my computer hard drives went out about a week ago. I had only been using it for a couple of months. Thats the last time I buy Maxtor. Ive had 3 of their hard drives go out in very short time. My Western Digital drives are still going strong, even the ones from 3 years ago. I just put in a Western Digital 300gb SATA-II drive to replace the one that crashed.

The lesson here: Don’t buy Maxtor. Ever.
