  "BUYER BEWARE POWER FAILURE"

  by ccalvert23 on February 14, 2007

  Pros: Large space and easy setup

  Cons: MAXTOR Manufatured it

  Summary: My drive stopped powering up in 3 weeks. The irreplacable data trapped om this drive would cost me 500 - 1000 dollars for Seagate to recover. They are willing to replace the drive but getting the data back is my problem. I researched this problem accross the net and found this power issue to be all too common and the lack of assistance from Seagate was poor for others as well. This is a great drive if you will simply buy another drive to back it up. I am having Best Buy retrieve the data for me and it turns out that one of the two drives (it has 2 500 GB drives with RAID) failed as well. At least it worked for 3 weeks, I guess. I will not buy Seagate or Maxtor again and I would advise anyone reading this to research drive stability prior to purchase if you intend this drive to store data that will not exist elsewhere.
  I paid 700 for the drive and I will oay around 300 to get my data off of it before I send the junk back to Seagate and then they Might send me another one which I will promptly put a clean bullet hole through the center of it apon arrival.

  Thank you for submitting your feedback!
