drive but I had trouble with it and sent it back to tigerdirect . I hate
trouble . Give me some input out there on your suggestions and also if you

I vote more Maxtor. I've just simply had the best luck with them. I
currently run 2 Maxtor drives in RAID with a Western Digital drive for
backup. I'm still weighing in on WD, but so far, they seem pretty good too.
I got a really good deal on it.

I've built quite a few machines over the past few years and have never had
any problems with Maxtor.


BTW: Was the drive defective for sure?

A large drive like that probably would have required a controller
card and an operating system upgrade.
