I have purchased many of the same in the last year and have returned at least 60% of them, all within 3-6 months of activation; some only weeks. The RMA's were getting so bad, I even had drives coming back to me with Linux still on from the last person that set it back. What's up with that? Seems even IBM has moved away from installing them in their desktop machines. IMO Maxter has gone the way of Western Digital, sucketh. Since I moved to the slightly more expensive Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 drive, I have had much less hardware problems. Of course I would never put anything less then IBM 15,000 RPM SCSI drives in a server. =P -- Scott - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-admin" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
