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!)

Come to think of it I've got a 20GB drive that worked for 4 years until I put it aside as an archive a few years ago. I'm sure it still works right now. The 2 drives that failed were 40GB, bought at the same time as each other.

I know the feeling... I lost a Maxtor and two Western Digitals in the span of 2 weeks! Ouch! Lost a lot of stuff...
