I have had spectacularly bad luck with Maxtor SATA drives. I've already RMA'd 4 of 8 drives and have 2 more waiting to go back. 1 was DOA, the rest failed completely while in operation (typically locking up the machine). These were all Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 6Y160M0 160GB Serial ATA drives. After testing for power, cables, disk controller, motherboard, and other potential reasons I've decided the drives were just faulty and have switched to another vendor. Sam
