failure until yesterday. I took it apart, and the entire disk was
charred/scratched inside. How wonderful? Next time i'll think twice
before buying Hard drives from Maxtor.

Pics!  Pics!  (I collect pictures of dead and fried kit.  It amuses me
for some reason)


Didn't Maxtor go belly up a few years back?

No, they were bought by Seagate for their 'value line' or some such
usage, not that I see any reference to the brand on the Seagate web site.

Personal theory is that Seagate bought the company and buried the brand when they found out that their rep was roughly equivalent to e Machines
or the old Packard Bell.

That would meet my expectations for goin' belly up.

Also, there was a time years ago that Seagate was know for producing POS...
