It is not a question if the drive will fail, but when. I think it goes for any company. I have had 3 WD 200GB fail. One ext FW. Two internal. <br><br>Plus, nowadays, when you have a drive failure; it seems they will only replace it with a refurbished one without exceptions!  Like that gives me confidence. As a matter of fact, one of the refurb replacements went out two weeks ago. No warning (XP doesn't monitor drive status, no apparent symptoms during use). Slam. <br><br>A month or so ago, looking for a small & portable backup solution, I spotted an external hard drive on the shelf in a store with a warranty of a whopping 6 months! Forgot the name, but ... 6 months?! ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[icerabbit]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 10th 2006 8:26PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Maxtor shows new storage products]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/10/maxtor-shows-new-storage-products/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/10/maxtor-shows-new-storage-products/</guid><description><![CDATA[I have to add my two cents to this: DO NOT USE MAXTOR. I had three seperate drives fail on me in a week while cutting a documentary in school (everyone had bought the same type of drive when we started the class on the Prof's recommendation) and my team and I lost hours and hours of work...three times. And, of course, this was the week before the project was due. <br><br>Granted, this was a couple years ago, but it burned me badly enough that I will never, ever, ever use a product with the Maxtor name on it again. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ellen]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 10th 2006 9:02PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Maxtor shows new storage products]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/10/maxtor-shows-new-storage-products/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/10/maxtor-shows-new-storage-products/</guid><description><![CDATA[I think the bigger the disk is the more prone to failure it is. I have a 80GB WD raptor and an 80 GB seagate for 2 years now that haven't failed yet. Yet my 300GB maxtor died 4 months after purchase and my 250GB WD died 12 months after purchase.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[paris]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 10th 2006 9:18PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Maxtor shows new storage products]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/10/maxtor-shows-new-storage-products/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/10/maxtor-shows-new-storage-products/</guid><description><![CDATA[I've been using Maxtor for about 9 years now with no problems whatsoever. Only reason I use Maxtor is because the first brand I ever used (WesternDigital) failed on me a week after the warranty expired. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Raymond Wolfe]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 10th 2006 10:24PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Maxtor shows new storage products]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/10/maxtor-shows-new-storage-products/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/10/maxtor-shows-new-storage-products/</guid><description><![CDATA[Hard drive reviews are humorously binary, the drive either crashed or it didn't.
