Summary: Nice size, decent price, impossible to configure 2000-08-04
Comment: I consider myself extremely capable on computers, and have installed many harddrives, yet I find this drive and the included MaxBlast software the most difficult thing I have ever encountered. I had a problem installing Windows 98 and NT numerous times, and found the software extremely hard to work with, since it is required to utilize all 15 gig, or else I would have used FDISK and FORMAT. Anyway, only buy this if you are extremely confident and have the number of your favorite Computer Technician handy.

Comment: 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.

Summary: Absolute Best drive for the money 2000-05-10
Comment: I'm a system VAR. 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.

Comment: 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!
