I agree with you on Maxtor. They really seem to have gotten on the ball, but I still am waiting until the crop made in the last year have had some time to run, then I may bay, you are defiantly hard pressed to find a drive as low in price as a Maxtor.
I had purchased one of those WD DOA drives, they sent me out a new one and I had it in less than 2 weeks (It would have been faster if I had let them put a deposit on my credit card though) The replacement has been running for 2 years non stop 24/7. Even when I was running OS9 I didn't shut down my machine. It's a 7200rpm drive running inside of a machine that maintains a temperature of 127 degrees. (I'm trying to find a better fan, the 5 right now aren't doing it) Will, I will look around and see which HDs are hanging around doing nothing. BTW if anyone needs a spare IIci, I have about 3 of them complete (no display) with ram &HD and various parts as well. If anyone is looking for a part etc, just ask, I would like some free space. -Robyn [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Saturday, August 3, 2002, at 11:56 PM, Will S wrote: > By that I mean it is still the > sold metal looking drive they have always made.
