Hi Neil, I've got two Maxtor HDs. A 40GB and a 60GB, both 7200rpm. They're both warranty replacements. Both the original drives keeled over shortly before their warranty was due to run out. Of course, that was in the days Maxtor did 3 year warranties on their HDs, not the 1 year they do now...
I'm still trying to decide on another 60GB drive to RAID with my current one. I don't think its gonna be a Maxtor one though.
