Maxtors RMA process is exceptionally quick and simple though, as long as the |

drive is still detectable by the BIOS. Their warranty periods are 3 year and |

above now too. |

All you pay is postage back to Maxtor (in Ireland for the UK). |

I've sent 7-8 back, and had replacements about a week or so after returning |
| 15 |
them. 3 200's I sent back got replaced with 250's! |

No, I don't work for Maxtor! |

And yes, I avoid Maxtors now! |
