I remember Maxtor from back in the noughties. Real junk sold by PC World.
Back then their disks had a working life of little more a year before
they died of progressive paralysis. Never quite deed completely - just
got agonisingly slow, so fortunately I was always able to make a final
transfer to a new disk. I have to admit it took longer than it should
have for me to realise how bad they were, to stop buying them and switch
to better brands.

I hope their current stuff is *much* better than that. It needs to be.
