I have heard horrible things about these drives. I have a 160GB ATA-133 Maxtor containing my Windows and my games. My most important stuff is on an older WD ATA-100. I have two questions. My first is, is Maxtor really that bad? My second is, this drive being 6 months old, is it urgent that I start looking for something else to replace it? Please answer this questions, and also tell me any Maxtor stories you may have, be it good or bad. I want to hear the good too, because I dont really want to have to get another hard drive.
