While we are on the subject - avoid Maxtor hard disks - at
   least in the
        IDE/ATA interface. A high drop - dead rate awaits !

        Darn!!! I just bought a 300 gig Maxtor. I was wondering why it was
        so cheap.

   I had a Maxtor die once too.  Have had good luck (knock wood) with
   Western Digital..

   Matt-

The funny thing is that the Maxtors are the pinnicle of reliability
compared to the old IBM Desk Stars! The problem got IBM out of the disk
drive business! I had two crash on the same day and both were unrecoverable.
