All my maxtors gone out or are going out, my server has 3 maxtors, there all going on and off, bad connection or something, the seagates run cool compared to my maxtor, and my WD in my sisters computer runs a bit loud but its an OLD drive, 15Gb but hasn't failed and runs cooler than the seagate. Also Seagate and Maxtor are now the same company aint they?
