Many of the early vintage (and even some more recent) Maxtor's have been 
very noisy. Had one so bad it made working near by trying, but since it was 
in a dedicated server, it really didn't matter. Despite the noise, it 
outlived drive 2, a new Seagate - 3+ years in a heavily used Server, with 
Adaptec and format @ 240Mb...(yes, 240Mb. The later Maxtor's are certified 
RLL, but there is apparantly no physical difference.)
