I dont see anything wrong with both of my maxtor hdd. One been running fine for almost 5 years (entering 6th after 20/8) and another one been running great for almost 2 years for now.

By the way, here's a question, how often do you download? 24/7?

My pc is never off except for blackout, all of my friends never have luck with maxtor HD, the older models are quite ok but those newer 1 like Diamondmax+8-->9 are not really what u call reliable.

Thanks.

If u bring it to the nearest pc shop, they will charge u for warranty service and some might not even want to do it because u didn't buy from their shop rclxub.gif . I suggest u bring it back to the shop u bought b4, no hassle laugh.gif

Your temperature is perfectly good, our room temperature is around 30c anyway. So it's still very good temperature rclxms.gif
