    Just great a brand new ticking harddrive from maxtor

    Been doing a lot of cursing this afternoon, probably worse than Jimthefiend's cursing when he has a bad day.
    2 months ago I bought a new pc, all quality parts with a 200 gig maxtor harddisk. Superfast computer, everything running smooth. This afternoon after about 2 hours I get a nice blue screen c0000218 unknown hard error and I hear a tick sound about every 2 seconds from inside the pc case.
    I opened it to see if there wasn't a wire ticking to a fan or anything but no, further investigation showed the sound comes from the harddrive.

    When I try to reboot I get my pentium start up screen but at the point I should see my desktop screen the ticking starts and the pc keeps hanging, after a while it starts asking for a boot disk etc...

    A little google search showed that my HD is about to crash any moment so I hope the pc guys will be able to transfer the data to a new disk. Otherwise I know what to do in the week to come.

    Damn maxtor garbage

          I had that same thing happen last month

          pull your drive, put it into a external case and save your shit...like right now

          mine lasted about a week after it started doing that

                  Never trust a maxtor.

                      I've had a ton of people tell me 1 in 10 hd's will be toast within 3 months, and from my experience, that's pretty right on. Not that it helps any, but odds are the next one you put in will work fine.

                                          I have been using a 300 gig external maxtor for about 6 months now with no problems!

                                              I had a maxtor in my first pc (I'm on my old pc now, won't take the risk of starting the other one up again) never had a problem with it over a period of 7 years and you wouldn't believe what I have done with this computer with it's tiny 4 gb drive. I'm gonne take my new pc straight to the computer guy in the morning and let him take care of it to transfer all the data to a new disk.
                                              I'm also thinking of putting a new 200 gb maxtor in it since my first maxtor worked flawless for over 7 years.

                                                  Maxtor was the first drive I bought. It was a 365MB. It ran for over 10 years.. actually, it probably is still running.

                                                  I've had two Maxtors go bad, and that includes the $80 Fry's rewrap specials. I've had 5 Seagates, 3 Wester Digitals and 15 fucking Hitachis tank. Never another goddamned Hitachi.

                                                      Yeah unfortunately you just got a bad harddrive. I know because this happened to me last week.

                                                          all hard drives are the same.

                                                          You just failed to maintain it.

                                                              I neved had a problem with Maxtor drives. In fact, I trusted one as the sole storage for over 80 GBs of Mp3s and it even survived two of the times I moved from country to country (one via sea freight). The only reason I changed it is because I needed more space.

                                                              Anyway, hard drives will fail, that's 100% sure. The question is when will they fail...

I went pruning through all my old hard drives (sub 20GB) and I had six drives that were dead, all of them were Maxtor! The rest were fine? fucking Maxtor hard drives are shitty as hell. The best hard drives atm are Hitachi, they were really shitty in the early 2k?s, but now they are rock solid. I?d recommend Hitachi or Seagate to be your main storage drives ? for your system disk use whatever you want as long as you keep a backup.

I?ve owned 12 Maxtor drives give or take, and 6 of them have died. That?s ½ of Maxtor Hard Drives that die within a three year period. I have ancient 200mb Western Digital hard drives that are STILL ALIVE and still have data on them. I have 500mb Seagate drives, same thing.

                                                                                                      The only hard drives that used to be able to compete with them in terms of shittiness were IBM deskstar drives, the ones from around 2k0-2k2. When Hitachi started doing IBM?s HD?s, they totally turned around and now since about 2k3 the Hitachi drives are rock solid. I?ve yet to have a Hitachi fail even though I put them through the same amount of stress that all my HD?s go through. Seagate is a close second in reliability.

                                                                                                                          Here's my recent experience. I have about 1TB in Maxtor drives, most of them external. I got a 500GB internal SATA drive. It started giving me cyclical redundancy errors, so I copied all video files off the drive on to the other ones. I only lost one audio file that was not an original, was only an intermediate file so no major loss.

                                                                                                                          I ran the diagnostic, it said the drive is failing and to send it in for warranty replacement. I sent it in. I did the Advance RMA and got my replacement drive yesterday. I go to hook it up, and the plastic mold surrounding the SATA pins is busted off - can't hook it up, so today I returned my refurbished RMA replacement for another.

                                                                                                                          I'm just glad I was able to get all but one of the files off the original drive before it failed. Sucks that the replacement drive was bad. Hopefully the 3rd time is the charm.

                                                                                                                          But for those thinking seagate or maxtor is going to be better than one another, soon they will be the same.

                                                                                                                                  Anyways, over time more or less all hard drive model lines will be nearly identical in failure rate. Granted, it "seems" I've had more WD's die than others, however that simply isn't born out in actual facts.

                                                                                                                                  We run somewhere around 8,000 or so spindles (disks) in my estimate in the datacenter. Failure rate across the board is pretty standard, I can't say any one model, manuf, etc. are "worse" than others. Buy drives based on your needs, not percieved "reliability" as it simply does not exist (closest you'll come is looking at MTBF and rating for 24x7 operation).

                                                                                                                                  Also, you've found out that if a drive is going to go due to manuf. defect, it likely will go within the first 3 weeks of operation Heavily hitting disk of course greatly shortens it's life as well (customers whom hit single SATA drives 24x7 at near-max capacity see failures 10 times more than folks with properly specced out machines).

                                                                                                                                  In the end, treat hard drives as disposable units that are expected to fail at any time. They are very complex mechanical parts that require extreme tolerances to operate at all. Any number of factors (e.g. a spec of dust between the head and the disk) can completely trash a disk.

                                                                                                                                  Lesson learned should be: backup. backup. backup. backup. Then, backup again. After that, if you don't like the length of time it takes to restore data due to a drive failure, invest in RAID for availability (RAID IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR BACKUPS!!!)

They are very complex mechanical parts that require extreme tolerances to operate at all. Any number of factors (e.g. a spec of dust between the head and the disk) can completely trash a disk.

                                                                                                                                      Lesson learned should be: backup. backup. backup. backup. Then, backup again. After that, if you don't like the length of time it takes to restore data due to a drive failure, invest in RAID for availability (RAID IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR BACKUPS!!!)

I find that if I pretend my hard drives will last forever, I no longer worry. Then, when they do fail, I try to forget about it immediately.

                                                                                                                                      This gives me a sense of comfort and continuity that backups never could.

Not that it helps any, but odds are the next one you put in will work fine.
                                                                                                                                          I purchased 3 Seagate SATA drives last year - one was completely dead, the other started reporting S.M.A.R.T. errors within 24 hours. Two thirds of the set was trash, not really the best when you're setting up RAID5!

                                                                                                                                          Got them both replaced and they haven't skipped a beat since. They're now in a RAID1+0 array with another Seagate SATA.

What you need for the shop to do is put in your new drive with Windows, and put your old drive in as a second drive. Then once it's in, they should be able to copy your data over.

Since my hard drive has a duplicate copy of my webserver, that's pretty safe (although I routinely back up my websites to DVDs as well.

Yesterday I bought a new HD, the exact same one that crashed, I spoke with several pc guys over the phone and all of them told me it doesn't make a difference what drive you are using, around 4% of all new hard disks just crash within the first 3 months. 16 hours of labour went into this.
                                                                                                                                                                                                  In the store they told me that it could be possible to have the data transferred from the bad HD to the new one but since I was able to replace everything by myself I just went for that. I'm going to burn every single prog on cd from now on.
