Digital camera Review: 1 star because there is no zero star
Summary: 1 Stars
Can someone tell me why Maxtors run so hot. I have many hard drives. Most are quiet and cool. My two Maxtors runs very hot. Not sure of the exact temp but I would say close to 45 degrees C. The Maxtor web site itself says that temps higher than 50 degrees C will reduce HDD life. They say you must have good ventilation. Then why my Seagate, WD, and others run so cool? My Seagate is so quiet, sometime I am not sure if my computer is on or off. On the other computer using a Maxtor, I can tell from the loud noise. Maxtor might be good for occasional use, not for always-on conditions. Don't put critical info on it. I wish Maxtor would have a utility (that doen't delete your data) which monitors the disk temp and provide early warning. Maybe even shutdown your PC gracefully.
At work we have many failures with Maxtor but rare with WD.
This will be the last time I buy a Maxtor.
