Hi !

Along this thread about Seagate (I've personally had bad experiences with
several ST225 that seemed to overheat. After all, they have *no* internal
ventilation, so if they are mounted in a confined space, this may be the
reason), I'd like to know what fellow-netters think of Maxtor. Some
responses in the thread seem to indicate that they are OK, but can this
be confirmed ? The drive that interests me is a Maxtor IDE 210 Mb that
Hard Drive International sells at $499 (august '92 prices, over here
(Europe), PC-MAG is a bit late.... ). Since I live across the Atlantic,
I'd really hate to send it back for an exchange.  
Last point :  can I trust HDI ? (any good or bad experiences ?)

Thanks in advance ! Looking forward to visit the States in october.
