3 out of 5 stars Crashes my Vista Computer.......2007-12-21

There appears to be a serious problem with compatibility of this drive and my Dell XPS computer using a Vista OS. It was extraordinarily difficult to get the computer to recognize the presence of the drive, and it took hours of work with Dell tech support to get it to the point that it did. Thereafter, it could copy files, but with frequency its attachment results in a crash of the computer. This likely results (I have no evidence for this) from the general incompatibility of Vista with a lot of hardware, even with software generated by the manufacturer of the hardware that supposedly is Vista compatible. Hopefully the patch for Vista due out, I am told, within the next month, will help cure this problem.

5 out of 5 stars One Year... no problems on XP.......2007-11-14

I purchased this product almost a year ago (9 months to be exact) and have held off on writing a review on this product because of some of the complaints pointed to extended use.

As I've said, I've had this product for 9 months now and have had no troubles with it and will be buying a second one in the next month. Doing 3D computer graphics and animation this product has helped conserve hard drive space and usage which is necessary when doing composite layering and rendering.

In the nine months, I have had NO, and I repeat, NO data loss. While the direct, on the drive, rendering time of animation is a little slow, than if I rendered on my main hard drive, the Firewire connection has proved stable and reliable.

Well worth the money I spent and will be spending more to increase my storage capabilities.

1 out of 5 stars Avoid at all costs.......2007-10-29

Whatever you do, do not purchase this drive. If so, be prepared for a large headache.

The drive had problems being recognized by all of our systems. When it finally did start working, we transferred large amounts of data (which is backed up on discs, thankfully) and used it for a day or two. Then, it simply stopped working. After talking to tech support, they sent us to data recovery folks who wanted to charge a minimum of $700 to retrieve the data. Maxtor is simply awful.

1 out of 5 stars Don't be fooled into buying this trash!.......2007-09-10

I have sent one back and Maxtor sent me a new one. Now it's dying and I have to send that back. There are no refunds. Some of the problems that occur with this drive are: Trouble mounting and unmounting drive. Slows down with streaming. Freezes up completely. The other thing is this drive is huge and heavy. I first lost about 500 gigs of data and Maxtor claimed they could retrieve it for me...at a minimum cost of $750!!! If you see people with 5 stars on their comments...it's only because they aren't quite there yet with these problems. This would not make a good back up drive or working drive at all!!! Buy something else.

1 out of 5 stars total failure.......2007-09-06

We bought one of these for our department at a hospital. It failed. The replacement failed, and the replacement for the replacement failed. Rather than send it back and get a FOURTH one, we've voided out warranty and ripped it apart, and are putting the drives inside (which are still readable) in a different enclosure.

Something that should be a huge warning sign to anyone thinking of buying one of these (and which we will watch out for in the future) is that the drives are not user-swappable. THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT OF A MIRRORED RAID ARRAY! When one of the drives goes bad, the user can swap it out with another one him/herself!
