Maxtor drives are easy to install and come with software to help get them partitioned and formatted. A detailed instruction manual for installation is included as well showing all jumper settings. I installed mine on a Win XP Home system and it was a snap. Only negative is that the drive is rather loud during use. Not bothersome loud but you do notice it compared to the original 20 GB drive that was in the system (also a Maxtor). Have used Maxtor in the past and never had a failure.

Well, since I am still using Win98 the max space accepted (or so I am told) is 128 GB, so it makes most sense to get two 60s and thereby split the potential loss of data if any one drive ever fails.When I opened up my Dell PC to install this new drive, I discovered that my Dell came with an older Maxtor 20GB drive which has been running fine for about 4 years now. So this is my second Maxtor drive, though I didn't realize that when I made the purchase. I've had this new Maxtor 60 GB drive for a few weeks now and I am entirely satisfied. Other brands touted how silent they were, but this Maxtor(which didn't tout it) is quiet too - just a humm (vibration) when it is getting data. It is more quiet than the older Maxtor from a few years ago, which rumbles a bit. So clearly they've improved the quietness of this drive. It was simple to physically insall, though I must admit I cheated a bit and just stuck it inside using some velcro...Read more 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful: Easy to install, By Susanne Roth (Rush, New York United States) - See all my reviews This review is from: Maxtor 60 GB 7200 RPM EIDE Hard Drive (Personal Computers) Not only is the Maxtor 60 GB 7200 easy to install but it's also very quiet and fast. |
