Best Buy had a sale on Retail packaged Maxtor 200gig IDE drives. 79 bucks. This was about a year ago. It was a heck of a good deal. So I grabbed 2 of them and tossed them into my Media Server. I moved my entire Movie collection onto one and my MP3 collection onto the other.
48hrs go buy and the 1st one craps out. I loose 150+ gig of Movies. I rant and rave a bit, but take it back and they give me a new one.
Now today, the other one just crapped out. 160gig of MP3's out the window. FRACK. I have masters of everything and backups on DVDs but man it is going to take a long time to put everything back onto the drives.
So anyone else have a 200gig Maxtor Retail from about a year ago up and die on them.
I am about to just say to heck with Maxtor's all together. At one time that was all I ever used. Now I am a bit concerned.
