 Good product for the right price April 3, 2006

I bought this hard drive for $40.00 from Circuit city. After crashing my western digital 2 hard drives of 160 GB each, I am hoping this would do good. installation was easy.
No problems until... November 22, 2005

I had the 180 gig version of this drive. It worked perfectly for about 9 months. Then it crashed and by crashed I mean it "lost it's formatting" and I could no longer access the data saved on it. I am reluctant to blame this on Maxtor because it happened just after a power outage (and I was using a cheapo surge protector... my bad). Customer service was helpful and they offered to replace it for me. Still waiting on the data recovery though.

There seem to be a lot of folks writing here who believe drives never fail. As an IT professional, I assure you, drives fail. All the time, all brands, all types. That's why IT departments put RAID5 arrays in their critical servers. If one drive fails the others take over so you don't go down. But if you buy ONE drive, never back it up and expect it to last forever, you're asking for disaster. Both Maxtor and Western Digital make adequate low-cost drives. Yes, they will crash sometimes. You get what you pay for. BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP!!!!
 Not a fan of Maxtor August 30, 2005

I have/had a 160 serial ATA 100 drive. Worked great for less than a year. After a bad shut-down (forced by a locked-up computer) I received failure messages on boot-up. I attempted system recovery to no avail. I then turned my computer over to experts who are still trying to accomplish a data recovery process. In talking to them, apparently they receive more failed Maxtor drives than anything else. My recommendation-Go with Western Digital or Seagate. Maxtor...I want my money back!
 NEVER STORE CRITICAL DATA ON THIS DRIVE May 3, 2005

I bought this drive about 1 year ago and didn't use it very often. It totally failed just 10 days out of warranty.
