Anything specific wrong with the Maxtors?
No. I've used Maxtor for a long time and I'm generally happy with them.
They break now and then, but their online warranty system is great.
I've also been treated kindly by their help desk - talked to a cute
gal from Maxtor in Ireland over the phone just yesterday ;-).
Then again, they've just been acquired by Seagate, or so, so things
may change for the worse, who knows.
I'd watch out regarding the Western Digital disks, apparently they
have a bad habit of turning themselves off when used in RAID mode, for
some reason:

I have exactly the opposite experience. More than 50% of Maxtor drives
fail inside 18 months; WDs seem to be really solid.
