LOL @ you buying something and then asking for consumer views on it...

maxtor is good!
i have a lacie external (it has a maxtor inside the case )
alot of dj's here in the detroit area use maxtor...
not every hard drive is perfect but from what i hear alot of people like there maxtor.

treat it nice .. all drives eventually die. that's why you backup.

I have a REALLY old 120 GB Maxtor that still works. I also have a 300 GB Maxtor that isn't that old which is fine as well.

I just picked up the Western Digital My Book World 1 TB which has 2 500 GB drives in it. I use a RAID 1 config so the drives are mirrored (instant backup), but it only gives me 500 GB of storage (I think it's worth it).

fair enuf kagen...well yh had to buy it johnnym...have a gig tonight...

I wouldn't use those to gig with. I prefer a USB powered drive for gigging and I leave the big boys at home. To each his own...

Ive got a maxtor for over a year with NP. but make sure to bring your wax or another HD as well just in case.

I have a maxtor the same spec as yours, no problems and its had tons of use.

right...ths good to know...i mean one more queestion...i def have to make playlist and drag n drop the entire content of ma new hard drive to itunes right?.......orelse itunes wud say file not found...or is there an easier way to do it...any help wud be greatly appreciated!! :)

ohkay i quiete dint get the wax part!!! :S confused..why wud u use wax...i really dnt knw!

I use a Maxtor. I manually add music to it and dont bother with any of the automatic updating software.

I think people have run into problems when they try to use the software addons such as "one touch".

no no! thts not wat i meant.....see man i got a 40gb folder which i got off my frend ages ago..in tht there r loads of tracks tht even i dnt knw about...and people when they request songs its in there...i knw where my stuffs lies...

the point is: the tracks from my first hdd will nto be detected by itunes becoz its switched off....but i have made playlist n stuff so tht wont work either...so how do i get itunes to detect my new hdd so tht i dnt need to add anything new on it..then it will become two copies of the same thing...

gotta bring sumthin just incase your HD fails.

ooohkay second hard drive!! yeh yeh i got a 45 min mix cd, and i will be carry the back up hard drive
!!thnk u very much playdope!
