Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 160 GB Internal Hard Drive...Strengths: Inexpensive, 3 year warranty Weakness: Maxtor turnaround (overall) for RMA a tad slower than other hard drive manufacturers. First SATA drive for me. Actually had slight problem with install as the drive does not auto detect like IDE ATA drives do. I have a Asus A7N8X-E and you have to transfer the SATA drivers from ASUS CD to a floppy disk and when you start windows XP install, push F6 to load SATA drivers. 94% of readers found this review helpful.

Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 160 GB Internal Hard Drive...Strengths: Extreemly fast, quiet, Maxtor quality Weakness: None Found This hard drive is a screamer, I am constantly amazed at how fast my computer is running! Very high quality drive that I reccommend without hesitation. I have used Maxtor Hard Drives on many computers and never had any unusual problems. Their prices are very competitive as well. 88% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 160 GB Internal Hard Drive...Strengths: It is fast, quiet and the amount of space is huge. Weakness: While not a drive problem, it took awhile to figure out how to load Win XP on a SATA drive. After I figured it out, all went smooth. I read reviews that said that this was a noisy drive, but I do not hear it at all. I do not even have a tenth of the drive full. I have always liked Maxtor drives, and I an impressed with this one. I would buy it again. 86% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 160 GB Internal Hard Drive...Strengths: Extremely fast and quiet. Weakness: None so far. This is a very high quality drive for the price espically being a serial ATA. The only problem that I encountered was that at first my motherboard would only recognize 131 GB, so therefore I had to go to the Maxtor web site and download MaxBlast 3 so then it would recognize all 160 GB. The access time is amazing and how quiet it is was stunning also. Excellent choice!!!!! 86% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 160 GB Internal Hard Drive...Strengths: Very quiet, very fast and easy setup. Weakness: None I bought two of these hard drives and set up as RAID-0 and I got 305GB in total size after formating. That is way more than what Western Digital would give. I bought a Western Digital 160GB ATA 133 hard drive about a month ago and it gave me only 143GB after formating. If anybody would like to do video editing then this is the Hard Drive to get. 80% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 160 GB Internal Hard Drive...Strengths: Fast access. Quiet. Clear manual. Easy install. Reasonable price. Weakness: so far so good. It's faster than the previous one I had, and surprisingly quiet (for a 7200 rpm). The manual is also clearly written and also available on their website support. I would say the price is reasonable. 80% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 160 GB Internal Hard Drive...Strengths: Fast and quiet Weakness: None found, so far I am using this drive for video editing and storage of large MPEG files. I have been using the drive for about three and a half months now, and it is still working flawlessly. I have had less luck with other brands: My two previous video editing drives were Western-Digital, and they both died. But no problems with Maxtor, yet, at least. 71% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 160 GB Internal Hard Drive...Strengths: Big and Fast Weakness: Loud and not reliable Worst hard drive ever. Have to reformat every 2 months. Possible bad sector. Replaced with Western Digital and much better and quieter hard drive. I would not recommend Maxtor to anyone 67% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Apr 15, 2006 Maxtor makes wonderful hard drives; apparently you got one that wasn't as nice. This one in particular is certainly not noisy and is reliable to all others that have used it. Formatting every 2 months seems like overkill. You probably got a bad one...

Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 160 GB Internal Hard Drive...Strengths: The Maxtor 160GB 7200 Hard drive runs like a dream, Quiet and fast. Weakness: I found no weaknesses as of yet At this time I have 4 Maxtor hard drives a 20GB a 60GB an 80GB and now the 160GB. The unit installed and ran with no problems. I have never had any problems with any of the Maxtors and recommend them to all my friends because they are reasonably priced and have been reliable 67% of readers found this review helpful.

Nov 13, 2004 I am doing the same, running 2 Drives, but mine are set up in Raid-0 Configuration. About the fan, Yes I'd advise adding Fans and/or heatsinks with fans. The only difference is, in my opinion, on ALL of today's large capacity, high speed drives I'd advise adding heatsinks w/ fans as well. Not just on this particular drive.

Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 160 GB Internal Hard Drive...Strengths: Price & speed Weakness: none so far I've had very good luck with Maxtor's drives for the past few years. There was a time when you couldn't have given me one, but not any more. I buy quite a few drives, and i've had them all; Maxitor top of the line drives are good quality,top of the line technology at reasonable prices. 33% of readers found this review helpful.

Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 160 GB Internal Hard Drive...Strengths: Fast and not very expensive Weakness: None Great drive. Mine did have kind of a high pitch sound but only at first. I opened it up gave everything a good coat of automotive grease and it is very quiet now. 20% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

pretty decentStrengths: Very fast data transfer. Weakness: Noisier than most newer hard drives, plus defective in spots. I originally bought it for the price, and because I had a pretty good opinion of Maxtor. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? TopAdvertisement

Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 160 GB Internal Hard Drive...
Strengths: very quiet, i got two of these and i have used ten gigs so far.. it's awesome. no worries about using up too much space
Weakness: well, I got two defective harddrives and however, got them replaced in a week
the guy over at my tech support said that it's better not to marry the harddrives
so I just separated them for backup and i have two 160 now
so happy i bought maxtor
