Description
MaXLine drives provide large-capacity ATA disk storage so reliable, fast and cost-effective, it leaves traditional near-line tape and optical solutions in the dust. At prices about the same as tape and optical,but with far superior capacity and access times, ATA drives are ideal for 24x7-duty situations where you may not need stored data all the time, but when you do need it, you need it now. At 250GB, MaXLine ATA drives provide greater storage capacity than regular ATA drives,and they offer the added benefit of ultra-reliability. For near-line and other low-I/O secondary storage applications,they're rated at better than 1 million hours MTTF. Maxtor stands behind MaXLine drives with a 3-year limited warranty.

Strengths: Quiet and fast
Weakness: Prone to failure
I have been using this harddisk primarily for storing video data for about a year. On and off, it gives clicking sounds which often lead to corrupted data on the disk. Every time this occurs, the harddisk will also slow down tremendously. Then the only way to get the harddisk back to its normal speed is to uninstall and reinstall the IDE ATA/ATAPI controller drivers. There are 3 partitions on...
Strengths: High capacity, Fast access time.
Weakness: Poor reliability
I purchased 4 of these drives unfortunately from a dealer that took the 3 year warranty away and offered only 1 year. So far one failed in the first year and was replaced. Shortly after the first year another one failed. Now I have a third out of four that is starting to show the signs of the same type of failure coming up. These failures once they happen they are 100% inaccessible so the data is...
Strengths: High storage capacity, Maxtor quality and value, good price per gig ratio.
Weakness: Windows 2000 won't recognize SATA drives.
This is a good drive but Windows 2000 won't recognize SATA drives. It would be nice if drive manufactures like Maxtor would provide drivers to solve this problem; but Microsoft SHOULD provide drivers to support new technologies like SATA drives. I was able to test the drive using a beta version of Windows XP Pro 64 bit edition. But even here, Windows will NOT install on a SATA drive without a...
Strengths: very fast, very quiet
Weakness: none
I've always been a fan of Western Digital until I bought this hard drive. It's a lot more quieter than a WD Drive. Also, using Maxtor's SATA-150 technology, it allows me to transfer files at a much higher speed than ever before.
Strengths: Fast transfer speeds, Large storage capacity, Good warranty
Weakness: Operating system must be able to support larger capacity Hard Drives. System must have support for SATA interface.
The hard drive works well in a RAID 1 setup with a SATA compatible motherboard. The read access is quick and system backup is quick as well. The transfer speeds are a good improvement over IDE hard drives with similar storage capacities. The manufacturer warranty on this drive is 3 years which gives some assurance if anything happens within the warranty period.
Strengths: It gets a good hard drive for the money. 5 year warrentee is well worth it
Weakness: I've had bad experiences with Maxtor but thats when they had a 1 year warrentee
Great buy. I am a die hard Western Digital fan but for this price you cant beat it. I had a maxtor hard drive before but didnt have much luck with them but hopefully my luck will change for the better with a 5 year warrentee

Do not buy this drive
Strengths: Just like any other manufacturing types
Weakness: not reliable
Once you lose your data, you'll know how painful it is. Consider the amount of time you back up the data, might as well just buy the seagate or other drive instead of Maxtor. This happened twice for me and I lost of my kids' beautiful pictures :-(
