I have had more trouble with Maxtor drives than any of the other brands. Upon opening up a crashed Maxtor drive, I was suprised they were mostly made of plastic parts for the spindle assembly. Then I opened up a Western Digital and they use mostly metal. I guess you get what you pay for.

RULE OF THUMB FOR ME.....NEVER BUILD A FILE SERVER WITH A MAXTOR BEING YOUR WEAKEST LINK!
