Hello,
Looking through MacWeek I found an ad by ClubMac that lists a Maxtor 380
meg, 14.5 ms (internal) drive for $1525. This sounds like a GREAT deal for
a drive of that size!!! However, since I have never heard of Maxtor before,
I didn't jump on the phone and order one. Instead, I phoned ClubMac and asked
for more info on the drive. They told me that the drive is full-height and
has a mean-time-between-failure of 30,000 hours. Isn't that a little low
for hard drives?
If you have any past experience or comment on Maxtor drives, or have
any suggestion for me on this matter, please reply. I am very tempted to
order the drive...
