148789 2003-05-31 06:34:00 In Nov I purchased 2 x 60G Maxtor hard drives from Dick Smith and had both fail within a few weeks. Then the replacements failed as well so I returned them and had them replaced with a Western Digital drive which so far has worked perfectly. Has anyone else had this problem with Maxtor drives? waynecarp (883)

1 x Seagate 40 GB 7200 rpm (3 months)
1 x Maxtor 40 GB 5400 RPM (1 month)
1 x Quantum 15 GB (2 years)

148791 2003-05-31 08:24:00 Yes, I purchased a Maxtor 7200 HD at New Year, to have it fail early in February (bought it at Dick Smith's). So far the replacement is OK - but I am checking HD and backing up data fairly often!

Cheers
