Dying a painful death
| Author's Rating: |

Pros: Its still under warranty! Plus it still works fine as a non essential temp drive.
Cons: It lasted only a year and a half before problems showed up.
My drive is currently in its death throes as I type this. According to WinXP and Win2K, it has bad sectors popping up, unrepairable errors across all partitions and other ugly stuff. But some how it still manages to boot up!
To be fair I've been pretty abusive on it from day one. Its taken its fair share of abrupt power failures, intensive P2P IO and hard knocks (traveling across 3 continents!) in the past year and a half.
I like Maxtor products. I still do.
