RE: [OT] Maxtor 1 Touch drives

["Graham Howe" <graham@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I run my DVD images off a pair of the 300Gb ones (still waiting to find
funds to buy another 8!) and they seem to work perfectly. They are
connected via firewire (daisy chained) to a reasonable spec XP box that
acts as the media server. The drives and box have been on 24 x 7 for a
couple of years without problems. Of course as Phil pointed out, the
problems were with the older cases.

I had two of the original blue-plastic cased USB2/Firewire drives and
they
were shite...

...the drives were fine but the cases cooked the drives something silly
(and
they do so to any drives that I have subsequently put in them as soon as
the
lids are put on) - I had a go at Maxtor about it and they said there was
no
design fault with the cases (no fan at all) but shortly after they did
redesign the cases and since then they have been fine.
