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. After that, the drive was detected and formatted OK. The drive is quiet. Actual format is around 156 gigs.

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.

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.

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!!!!!

Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 160 GB Internal Hard Drive...Strengths: Very fast, quiet, and simple set up. Weakness: None that I can tell fast and unusually quiet for a 7200 rpm. Although mine came with no manual but, it was available on their website support. The price is ok. I would probibly buy one again.

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.

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.

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.

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

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
