- I've had one for over a year with no problems. Compared to the Maxtor 8760S
- it's a big improvement. However, I would point out that it's a bit big and slow
- compared with today's drives. You could get the same capaciity in a 3.5" unit
- or get 1.2Gb in a 5.25" unit for about the same price.
-
- If you're buying it used, the way the drive was handled/used is far more
- important than any original "quality" issues, though.
