1 out of 5 stars Bought 2, one died after 1 1/2 years   December 21, 2008
Seattle Investigator (seattle, WA USA)
I bought two drives last year in July 2007, one is working fine, second one died. Along with it all my data which I was using as a backup drive.

I tried to get it repaired, only 1 year warrantee not very reliable in my opinion.
I am worried my second drive will die as well, so I am moving my data over to another brand and dumping this brand.



1 out of 5 stars stay away from maxtor products   November 3, 2008
Per Hultquist (Boulder, Colorado)
I payed over $200 for this piece of junk and in less than 2 years it failed...out of warranty of course...and no help/responses coming from Maxtor.


4 out of 5 stars Good Drive So Far (except for the Power Adapter)   July 24, 2008
Nick (Cleveland, OH, USA)
I've been using this drive with a Powerbook G4 and an eMac for one year. After about a month, the power adapter died. I actually wonder if others here have experienced this problem and instead thought it was the drive itself. In any case, they sent a replacement after a quick phone call, and that replacement showed up within a day or two. Since then, it's been working fine (knock on wood). Also, I've found it to be a fairly quiet drive except when first turned on, when it always makes a loud sound that lasts about a second or two. All in all, I've been happy with the experience so far and would recommend the drive.


1 out of 5 stars Doesn't Do Its Job!   June 28, 2008
R. Mangum
One major purpose for an external hard drive is to back up the files you want to make sure you have in case your computer crashes. Well, mine did just that. Luckily, I had everything backed up on my Maxtor drive, right? Not quite. Some of the files that I had selected for backup were there, but where are the others? Somehow this unit picks and chooses which items it is actually going to backup, or at least it doesn't back up everything that I selected. And there is plenty of room on the drive. It is currently less than 50% of its capacity. I don't get it, but I would definitely NEVER buy ANY Maxtor product in the future.


1 out of 5 stars Maxtor products SUCK!!   June 3, 2008
H. Le (New York City, NY United States)
OK. I'm on my 3rd Maxtor now...if not for the 1yr replacement warranty I would have gotten something else...but each time, it starts with a clicking sounds and then rusty drive sounds, and then it stops appearing as a drive on my computer...each time I had to send back the damn thing, I've lost EVERYTHING up to 500GB of data (eg. music collection, photo collection, movies collection, etc...). The return policy is efficient but who cares for that when you've lost everything that is valuable on that drive??!!

it has become a moot point for me to store data on it now, knowing that it's only a matter of time before I hear the clicking sounds...don't get ANY Maxtor. I've owned previously 2 300GB OneTouch III...with the same problem and I can only say that I had hold out that perhaps I was unlucky...but now it's beyond doubt. You've been warned.
