Another Maxtor HDD...

... now Rests In Peace. The first one in my life, though. BTW, it was a 3 years old DiamondMax+ 9, 120 GB ATA133 with 2MB buffer.

Well it lasted longer than the ones I got a while back - one lasted just under a year, and the other lasted just over 2 years.
so the next one will last 4.

In a way I keep hoping the maxtor on my second computer dies. It gives of a very loud whistling sound. On the other hand, can't really afford to replace it right now so I hope it holds on until I can just buy a new system.

Pretty dangerous... What if you lose data?

He! I have another identical one. Once they were set in RAID0.

It's my second system. It contains mostly games. The important programs all point to my main system to store files and I back it up fairly regularly. Which reminds me, I need to do a backup.

I've got a system with 2 20GB Maxtor HDDs (really old) and they've both been going for at least 5 years. Never had a single day's problem with them. (although, when I get home tonight now, I'll have found that they've both moved to the big tower in the sky! :doh: Sod's Law!)
