So just because 1 Maxtor drive failed on you it automatically isn't a good brand?
As for drives failing. I have had a lot of bad luck with them. I have been a "spokesperson" for SSD for years now, long before they were even feasible. I hate the fact that they keep developing drives in a way that they can fit more data per square inch. That just makes it more prone to errors. I think the main reason the old 80's drives are still working is the fact that the data isn't so tightly packed and the disks were like 5" across.
