I've sold a ton of drive upgrades. When people ask me what brand I prefer I tell them I've had 1 Maxtor drive fail since 1985. That's less than 1 in 3000! I sell other drives occasionally but I see far more failures in my shop with drives from other manufacturers. This drive is a great size also. I use this one specifically for systems running Promise FastTrak Raid arrays. The size is not too unweildy for avarage maintenance tasks. 10 of 14 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Maxtor ST0151500U 15GB Hard Disk Drive (Personal Computers) I just bought this Maxtor 15gig, 7200 rpm hard drive and also a controller card (UltraATA66). I had no problems installing both and performing a clean install of Win2000. I can now run up to 6 hard drives! 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: By A Customer This review is from: Maxtor ST0151500U 15GB Hard Disk Drive (Personal Computers) The drive itself is good. The software is good as far as formatting and partitioning. Beyond that--forget it.When their software tells you your BIOS cannot recognize the hard drive, and do you want to install EZ BIOS? Try NO. You might save a week of wonder. EZ BIOS can cause some weird start up problems. Best bet: Forget the EZ BIOS and do your own copy routine. Check out CNET for a procedure to do this.(Maxtor still has no clue why their copy utility does not work--it has to do with the 386 swp file (virtual memory). Note: Not from a Maxtor employee. |
