bit noisy...

bypurpleroba Jan 18, 2005
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros reasonably priced (as of 1/18/05), nice support
Cons high-pitch noise
Recommended it? No

I bought the drive three weeks ago for my back up. Soon after I start using it, I noticed a high pitch noise coming from my computer. I checked CPU and case fan just in case, but it was coming from the drive.

It was not accessing noise, and pretty consistent, so, I think it is noise from... Read full review »

Don't buy

Pros Disk makes a nice shiny paperweight. You can pry out a really strong cool magnet.
Cons Less reliable than the infamous IBM deskstar from a couple of years back.
Recommended it? No

Tried to use these as cheap boot/swap drives in a 12 node cluster about a year ago. I have a stack of 4 dead disks, and judging by the sounds I hear from some, that will score rise soon. Read full review »

computer illiterate reviews her hard drive

byinisfad Jan 9, 2007
6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Um, er, well, uh, nice and shiny looking?
Cons Slow, unreliable, unpredictable, noisy.
Recommended it? No

I know nothing about computers, and when buying my last one, found that I had this Maxtor hard drive in it. Is it responsible for all these freezing programs, slow computing, noise, system failure, etc.? As I read on, it apparently is. This may be good (I was disgusted to see how cheap it is to...

Great drive... if they pay you to take it!

Pros 1. The drives only cost us about $40 per year - OUCH!!!
Cons A 40% failure rate in less than 30 months?!
Recommended it? No

About 2-1/2 years ago, I replaced the computers in our computer lab at our school by building new machines with my classes. It was a great learning experience for them, and several have gone on to build their own home machines.

Now to the Maxtor fiasco... we bought 10 of these drives, but... Read full review »

Dying a painful death

5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Its still under warranty! Plus it still works fine as a non essential temp drive.
Cons It lasted only a year and a half before problems showed up.
Recommended it? Yes

My drive is currently in its death throes as I type this. According to WinXP and Win2K, it has bad sectors popping up, unrepairable errors across all partitions and other ugly stuff. But some how it still manages to boot up!

To be fair I've been pretty abusive on it from day one. Its... Read full review »

Great HD for the Money

5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Fast, Quiet, Looks Cool!
Cons None so far, wish it had an 8mb cache instead of 2mb
Recommended it? Yes

I picked up this hard drive from best buy for $40 after mail in rebates. It was replacing my old maxtor 30gig with 512kb cache. Upon opening the box I was impressed by the look of the harddrive, it was about 1/2 inch thinner than my old one and was chrome colored on the top surface, very flashy for... Read full review »

Horrible Drive

Pros Cheap
Cons Dies after two years
Recommended it? No

Have about 110 of these drives, about 15 of them have died. The drives are out of HP DC5100 PCs and has been a nightmare replacing these things.

Pros none
Cons it is dead
Recommended it? No

I bought a Maxtor 40GB hard drive in the Netherlands in 2003, just to take some memorable files and a bunch of MP3s to the USA with me.
Now it is March 2005, my wife put all her vital data on the same drive (40GB so what the heck...), and since last week it is no more recognized by my laptop... Read full review »

Waste of metal

byteddaniels Feb 24, 2005
1 Helpfuls 2 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Cheap
Cons Everything else about it
Recommended it? No

This drive is a complete waste of metal. Bought it brand new and in the box from a friend at a reduced price, luckily, because the drive does not work at all. After some research I discovered that this particular model is prone to firmware failure.

DO NOT BUY IT. Read full review »
