Actually, I posted early in this thread about how several Maxtor drives
died on me and I had decided to never use Maxtor drives again. And I had
mentioned that I (thought) I read somewhere that Maxtor doesn't fully
support the standardized method for checking for bad spots on drives. I
forget what that whole mechanism is called.
