computer illiterate reviews her hard drive

Pros: Um, er, well, uh, nice and shiny looking?
Cons: Slow, unreliable, unpredictable, noisy.
I know nothing about computers, and when buying my last one, found that I had this Maxtor hard drive in it. Is it responsible for all these freezing programs, slow computing, noise, system failure, etc.? As I read on, it apparently is. This may be good (I was disgusted to see how cheap it is to buy, compared to the amount I spent on my computer), as a back-up unit, but certainly not for someone who is serious about computing. The 40gigs may be ok for my small needs, but, in this day and age, it fills up rather quickly and becomes even slower in the process. It's horrifically noisy, and runs rather hot, as well, so fans are blasting away all the time. It's not terribly reliable (I hope it's not reading what I'm saying about it, as I'm walking on eggshells with it already...), seems to boot up differently each time it starts, and is only meant for a complete novice.
