Far from it. I bought a maxtor hard drive about 1 and a half years ago and it has failed and been "replaced" three times.

Check out this thread I posted about my experience with Maxtor on another forum and see how many other people have had problems:

Maxtor used to be unreliable, however when they got bought out by Seagate around a year ago, their standards increased by quite a bit. You should be fine

I agree with tom, I had a maxtor hard drive and it died within 2 years, definitely don't want to be replacing your hard drive and paying for data recovery every 2 years :)

Unrelated sort of, why is hard drive abbreviated hdd? I assume its because of HarD Drive, but not entirely sure :P

Hard Disk Drive.

Above is correct :P

I've never personally had any problems with Maxtor... until I plugged the firewire and USB cables into it and my PC at the same time when I was like 7 :D We managed to get it out of the enclosure and now use it as as internet drive just fine :)
