Arrgghh. My refurbished Maxtor Maxline II+ drive died today! “Refurbished to Maxtors standards” they wrote on top of it! Truely a lovely set of standards. Not even a month it lasted. Luckily for me it only contained mythrecordings. Anyhow I’m done with Maxtor.

My replacement drive is going to be the Seagate Baracuda 7200.10 or the Segate Baracuda ES (7200.10 with enterprise firmware). Whatever I can get my hands on.

As evidence:
