Maxtor were a great brand. I never had an issue with em and most of the systems I installed maxtor drives in had little to no problems .

Well either your case/s has/have had good ventilation around the drives or you've just had plain good luck as personally from a repairer's viewpoint they're about as bad as old IBM drives (unless good airflow is provided but then some luck helps there as well).
