I had two new 160 SATA OEM Maxtor drives from ZipZoomFly, a month after installed the RAID broke, then one wouldnt recognize at all, it spins but doesnt do anything else. I had the other hooked up but it was unreliable, every time I tried to start HL2 it said SATA drive unplugged, I have checked the connections a million times and used diff cables and it still does it. I put my other drive that wasnt working into my buddy's G5 and after like a month one day it started working, he put some data on it, then it quit, now it does nothing. I also have a Maxtor 250 IDE, this one works fine but ofc Windows only recognizes 127gb's so I gotta go do that thing in the run box and get to the HD utility or whatever but I cant remember it. So I think my drives are faulty but not sure if I can do anything since they are OEM, so to make a short story long, there it is.
