I've had three Maxtors recently that have all croacked. Two D740Xs that developed a high-pitched whine and now my computer with the Diamondmax 9 says "DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER." The computer will sit there saying that for about five minutes and then it will work. The craziest thing is, these drives died (or started dying) consecutively! I know that over the last year that I have posted that Maxtor is good quality, but not ever again.
So, I finally bit the bullet on a Seagate because of their good reputation and 5-year warranty. It is a 200GB, SATA drive from NewEgg. I hope I am not dissapointed as I was with the Maxtors.
