This review is from: Maxtor L01F500 500 GB SATA II Internal Hard Drive (Personal Computers)

For the price and storage capacity this is an awesome drive.

Pretty fast, reliable and mos t of all quiet.

Have been using one since 6 months ago and I'm very satisfied with it. Will definitely buy my next drive from the manufacturer.

1.0 out of 5 stars Seagate refuses to honor the warranty, August 15, 2008
By 
This review is from: Maxtor L01F500 500 GB SATA II Internal Hard Drive (Personal Computers)
I bought this drive in May, 2007. It was advertised as having a three year warranty, and I have a PDF copy of the Maxtor spec sheet that confirms this model has a three year warranty.

The drive failed in August, 2008, 15 months after purchase. Seagate, which bought Maxtor back in 2006, refuses to replace the drive or honor the warranty. They wrote "We have seen this before, and I am sorry to say the drive only had a 1-year warranty" -- clearly, the reason they've seen this before is because the drive was marketed as having a three year warranty.

A longer warranty doesn't mean a hard drive is less likely to fail. But I would never buy a drive with a one year warranty. And I would never buy from a company that refuses to honor its warranties.

That's two good reasons not to buy this drive.

5.0 out of 5 stars No problems..., February 16, 2008

M. Foster (San Angelo, TX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Maxtor L01F500 500 GB SATA II Internal Hard Drive (Personal Computers)
Other folks have talked about their hard drive was mishandled in shipping, etc, causing it to arrive DOA. I had no problems. I could have taken the Maxtor retail box and punted it off of my roof, retrieved the box, take the brand new hard drive out and put it in with no damage. Make sure you have serial ATA before you get this drive.
