MAXTOR Drives Faulty?
Recently we swapped our old SEAGATE hard drive for a MAXTOR 7120 SCSI with
120 Meg capacity. We have regretted this move. After about 4 months
operation the MAXTOR would not boot up. Software and other hardware checked
out OK. With computer case open, noticed that a light tap on the case of
the MAXTOR started the correct booting process. If the computer is shut
down and restarted within an hour or so, the drive boots. If it is
overnight however, the problem occurs.
An associate in another State has the same drive in an Amiga. He tells me
that he has a similar problem. This leads to the question… Is this model
of the MAXTOR set of drives a dud – or are all MAXTOR drive products
syspect when it comes to quality? Has anyone else had MAXTOR problems?
Am contacting MAXTOR in San Jose, CA. It will be interesting to see if and
when they respond.
