Maxtor and Seagate external Hard Drives SUCK posted on 10th of march, 2009

Just want to everyone to know that I have owned 2 Maxtor external hard drives and 1 Seagate (which owns Maxtor..little did I know) and ALL 3 DRIVES have crashed. My advice is to NOT purchase Maxtor or Seagate...and especially if you are on a Macintosh.

Anyone else had issues with these external drives?

	Comment by Vickifrance on April 26, 2010 Well Seagate replaced the drive and it worked for about one month and then it died. This is 3 of the hard drives that they make that died. My Western Digitals HD's (I have 3) are perfect and have never given me grief.
	Comment by Vickifrance on March 31, 2009 Well, after doing a some online research, it turns out that I am not alone.....HUNDREDS and hundreds of people have issues with these Seagate and Maxtor hard drives. I would let it slide with one drive going down...BUT 3 external drives? Hmmm I've been using a Mac for over 20 years and it's NOT the user.
	Comment by Creativei on March 11, 2009 Well Im pro Maxtor & Seagate, Touch Wood or as we say Masha Allah. Im using two terabyte HD for my personal use, and One terabyte for office, and yeah I do work on both Mac and PC, So as kenneystudio said its not the hardware, something in your system.
	Comment by Gnicolson on March 10, 2009 yup we have 1..and the very second it is turned on....our comps slow down to the speed of a snail.....a very slow snail i might add....and they scare me...all that data we put on it ..and if it goes down the toilet..its gone.....no getting it back...omg...i need a valium...
	Comment by Kenneystudios on March 10, 2009 I've had the a Seagate external harddrive for several years now. Same drive. No problems. Perhaps it is the software or the user, not the hardware.
	Comment by Fultonsphoto on March 10, 2009 Cant say that I have as yet, but was wary to reply to this, knowing murphy's law and all, I am touching wood as I type.
