Maxtor at one time had allot of problems with the reliability of their drives. But this was something like a decade ago. Ever since then, I have been avoiding them. They are probably good drives...by now. IBM always had a reputation for quality, and being one of the fastest drives out there. The IBM drives have been always priced at a premium. I am surprised they have let a batch of bad drives out for sale. This has been my first problem with a Western Digital drive in all my years. If it were not for the ball bearing sound that apparently started this problem, I would begin to suspect my UPS, since the first copy of the GeForce4 MX 440 I purchased went bad too. Just to be in the safe side, I purchase a good surge supressor that also takes care of high frequeny noise and plugged thatinto the UPS. I wonder what my horispcope has to say for me today?
