I feel your pain, Vile. We bought a Maxtor a year and a half ago and it went out on me 3 weeks ago. It was still under warranty so hubby sent it back for a replacement. The replacement came a couple of days ago and he installed it.
My Maxtor runs my C:drive exclusively and I have another HD by Western Digital that is partitioned in two representing my D: and E:drives. I also run some programs from them. The Western Digital has been running on my computer for many years now without a hitch.

I'm just damn glad that I backed up everything important to me before the Maxtor went out.

Other good HD's that I really like are Seagate and IBM
