Maxtor Hard Drive Failures
Having had crashes in the past, I was happy to see a site go up taking
a survey of Maxtor hard drive failures. They will contact you with the final results if you provide contact info. It might be interesting to see how many had issues with warranty replacements. The website is at http://www.maxtorsurvey.envy.nu/ Max |

Maxtor Hard Drive Failures
What fantasy world do you live in? Any HD with a one year warrantee must
suck and,,,,surprize, the do. Lost 3 in three years (different systems.) Each one was about 1 to 1.5 years old. Maxtor, stop smoking that crap and fix your company. "helpdisc" wrote in message . .. Maxtor hdds have common problems fixing them is easy so recovery is easy HelpDisc |

Maxtor, stop smoking that crap and fix your company. My Maxtors all have with 3 years warranty. They are unreliable when cooled badly but pretty reliably in a server room (disk temperature 35C under load). Arno |

Not reliable or unusable in servers or unattended machines. Also requires a buzzer. Better just shut them down and give a "disk overheated" error (if ATA supports that). This would also keep them alive. Arno |

This would also keep them alive. Yeah, but could well generate a hell of warranty claim problem with Maxtor having to tell countless customers to bugger off. Bit tricky legally in the most gung ho jurisdictions too. |
