I've had one Maxtor fail in the last 5 years and that was my own fault...

I've had 8 x 160Gb Maxtors running for the last 5 years and another 8 x
160Gb Maxtors running for the last 3 years (so 16 in total) + 2 x 160Gb
Hitachis for about the last 2 years ... All running 24/7.

(Perhaps that explains why my leccy bill is now =A380 a month?)
