I don't know if it's related, but I've replaced several Maxtor Drives 
and decided to go with other brands eventually. This could be due to the 
fact that the PC was open all the time and the drives weren't in their 
bay. Maybe they weren't being cooled properly. I see someone mentioned 
they run hot. But I never had a problem with any other brands. And did I 
read that Maxtor doesn't support all the features of proper error 
checking? I don't know much about that area, seems I read that though.
