| 413716 | 2005-12-18 19:03:00 | I want to buy a new harddrive, In particular I was looking at the Maxtor 200GB SATA DiamondMax 10 (6L200M0). The only problem I have is that I cannot determine if the drive supports SMART or not. Can anyone confirm whether it does or doesn't? |

| 413718 | 2005-12-18 19:37:00 | why not get a seagate 200GB that has a 5 year warrenty? | Prescott (11) | ||
| 413719 | 2005-12-18 20:05:00 | see data sheet (maxtor.com) On that data sheet it doesn't mention SMART but there is a logo saying SMART certified. Read it and then buy the Seagate... |

| 413723 | 2005-12-19 01:05:00 | I have 3 seagate drives in my pc and they are quiet, fast and reliable. With the 5 year waranty you can't lose. | Sb0h (3744) | ||
