(1 out of 5)Multiple defective units
I have used Maxtor 250 GB external drives for years. Only of several units failed. But I have had terrible experience with the 1.5 TB Maxtor drive. First unit installed ok (as mirrored backup drive), but failed after two months. Replacement unit was DOA. It would not install properly. Second replacement unit would not format at first, but after many tries did format and run briefly. It is now inoperative. Maxtor should not be selling the 1.5 TB units. I have since learned that many others have also had bad experience with them. This has been very time consuming for me. It is ironic that the system I purchased as a highly reliable, mirrored backup drive was so unreliable itself.
