Reviews for Maxtor DiamondMax 10 Hard Drive - 250GB - 7200rpm - Internal

Great Price; Questionable Performance

Strengths: You can get four of these for about $300. That's the cheapest TeraByte at this speed you'll find.

Weakness: Bad Blocks, often fails to be recognized on boot, Drive Ready Seek Complete Uncorrectable Errors, etc.

I bought four of these for the price. An SATA II w/16MB cache couldn't be had any cheaper. But in pairing it with the Asus A8N-SLI I've learned it often isn't recognized on boot, and have repeatedly had trouble with bad blocks and other drive errors. I'm going to have to send one or more of these in for warranty replacement. A real pain.
