Buckfutter,
Damn dude... Maxtor said it had to match the "HDA, PCBA and Unique" or I risk messing up the data....
The rest of those numbers match up with your drive?
It's amazing how many different versions they made with the same damn model number!

Yup, everything else is bang on. Maxtor has been very good to me with replacing bad drives, I had a drive die on me and they had a new one to me from Texas the next day (I'm in Canada). But it seems their drives are prone to failure. My dad had a maxtor drive die, and my uncle had a maxtor drive die. Thankfully they seem to die within the first week of use, but I've never seen one toast a chip like yours did, that's kind of scary. Yanking the drive out of my machine I noticed how hot the fuckers get, it was almost too hot for me to touch.
