Maxtor DiamondMax 10 6L300R0 300GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache IDE Ultra ATA133 / ATA-7 3.5" Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: I did my home work befor it arrived . went strait to maxtor's web site and downloaded MaxBlast4 and Big-Drive-Enabler. you run them both befor installing , makes it a walk in the park to transfer the operating system strait over to this 300GB drive or what ever you want to make of this drive! Awesome software it prints you out a step by step customized to your system and configuration .
Super quit and fast.
I would recomend this drive to any one .

Cons: none

Overall Review: Thanks NewEgg , You Guys Rock !
You have help me build a Super fast system for a Super low price .
My Shoping needs always end up here at newegg.com

Pros: large cache (the drive is actually slower than WD320JB+ more CPU load)

Cons: I bought this drive 6 months ago, and the first delivery received was not working at all and RMA-ed. It took me a week to receive the second drive, which is a refuribished product. I am desperated because I paid the price of a completely new drive + extra shipping cost of the RMA, and a refurbished drive was received. It is not the main reason why I gave it low score. The main reason is that this drive runs hot and noisy. There is an obvious spinning noise when it starts.
I just use this drive once a month to backup my projects and document, even though my WD RAID0 has never failed.
However, this drive is dying now.
I just connect this drive to my PC when I backup.
I just used it 10 times, dude.
I want to give Maxtor 10 middle fingers.
Consider WD320JB if you are going for a IDE 3xxG HD (just costs $1 more).
Maxtor does not deserve any pitty.

Overall Review: UPS is unsurprizingly rude.
