Maxtor didn't send me a Maxtor drive. They sent me a Crapstor. After 4 weeks my drive in my new computer I built is refusing to boot up in my computer today. After many tries I was able to get it to spin up. I'm keeping it on until I get a replacement because I need my computer until the replacement arrives. I have all my data backed up. Anyways, when I get that junky refurb from maxtor will I be able to trust it? I love how my 4 week old drive dies and I get a nice refubished peice of trash that will probobly die earlier than this one did. I had a feeling I shouldn't have gone with maxtor. This was my first maxtor after switching from western digital. What a mistake that was! :mad:
 
What type of drive is it? ATA/SATA? Capacity? You're right, you will have bad drives with any manufacturer. That's what RMAs are for. ;)
 
If you lose two in a row start investigating other points of failure: power, heat, ESD, cabling, controllers, memory, processor, etc.
