Amazon Product Description

Gamers, multimedia enthusiasts and power users take note -- the new Maxtor L01S300 GB Serial ATA Internal Hard Drive may be just what you've been looking for.

Sporting a whopping 300 GB of storage space, the L01S300 is one of the most spacious IDE hard drives available today. Indeed, you'd need nearly 500 hours of home video footage, 30 hours of High Definition TV recordings, thousands of hours of digital music or more than 100,000 digital photographs to load this monster to the top. But it isn't just big; it's fast too.

The unit runs at 7200 RPM (vs. 5400 RPM for lower priced or older hard drives) and features a massive 16 MB buffer rather than the 2 MB or 8 MB buffer found in less sophisticated models. Moreover, the L01S300 uses Serial ATA technology as opposed to conventional ATA. The advantages of Serial ATA are numerous, including faster performance, decreased power drain, and less cumbersome connector cables.

The Maxtor L01S300 GB Serial ATA Internal Hard Drive kit also includes Maxtor's popular MaxBlast drive utility software for intelligent formatting and partitioning, a drive copy feature for duplicating your original drive, and a straightforward step-by step installation guide.

2 out of 5 stars Failed Basic Drive Test within 1 year of use.......2007-12-15

MAXTOR 6L300S0 300GB Seagate diag. software showed that basic drive test FAILED even though data "Seemed OK". JPEG Pictures were a little degraded but no other Windows complaints.
Have had both Seagate and MAXTOR drives fail catastrophically and at the worst times. Actuator failures are common.

Why do drives die so often and so soon?
Backup, backup, backup or else.
Don't know what is a truly reliable drive maker!
Really looking for better drive quality than cheap.

Always BACKUP BACKUP EVERY DAY. You never know. A 500gb drive and ext enclosure are less than $150.

1 out of 5 stars Incorrect Product Received.......2007-10-27

Ordered Maxtor 300 GB Sata-1 hard drive! Received Maxtor 300 GB Sata-2 hard drive. Very disturbed that your distributors can't send correct product as per order. The invoice included with the product shows the product was ordered as a Sata-1, 300 Gb Drive, But the actual drve is a Sata-2 drive. Not something difficult to see, just pure carelessness/poor quality on your part. You have lost my business as a customer. Can't afford wasted time returning bad/incorrect parts.

2 out of 5 stars Disappointed Customer.......2007-03-11

I originally purchased two of these drives and installed them in an Intel matrix raid array (raid 0 and raid 1)on a new home built system. After one of the drives went bad I replaced it and installed it using a raid 1 (mirror) arrangement. The new drive has gone bad and I'm replacing it with a third and final drive. The only good thing I can say is that the price has come down since the first purchase and one of the original drives is still working. I would not recommend this manufacturer for what I consider to be inferior workmanship in this particular product line.

1 out of 5 stars great when its working!.......2006-08-17

i had 2 of this hard drives !! i buyed them last feb2005 !! i didnt need them right away so i left them in the foil and but them in the pc just before x-mas 2005 i have but backup on them and some new stuff!!! everything was great until april 2006 my bios didnt see the HD anymore and the HD are not spinning anymore!!! i called maxtor to ask if the can help me!! the answer was sorry 1 year waranty is over!!! have a great day !!! NEVER EVER ANYTHING FROM MAXTOR IN MY PC!

5 out of 5 stars easy install, solid performance.......2006-07-10

I didn't expect to see a difference in speed when I upgraded from a 160GB Ultra ATA 8MB cache hard drive to this one, however there is a subtle improvement. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who needs a new hard drive.
