| Need help on my maxtor harddrives I bought 2 new 6L300S0 300G SATA drives, but I got tons of problem with them  The first disk came with 2.3% bad sectors which render the drive unusable. The second disk appear to have no bad sectors, but my partition keep getting corrupted (I could copy the file out by R-studio NTFS with no error at all), but my folders just corrupting. I'm wondering what happened to my disks? I'm copying the remaining 100GB data out of the drive now, going to replace the SATA cable and see will it help.
I already RMA-ed the first disk, may be I'll need to RMA this one as well.... Workstation 1: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 3.6Ghz / 4GB DDR2-800 / HD4870 512MB / Antec P180 Workstation 2: Intel Xeon X3350 3.2Ghz / 4GB DDR2-800 / HD4770 512MB / Shuttle SP35P2 HTPC: AMD Athlon X4 620 / 4GB DDR2-1000 Mobile Workstation: Intel Core2Duo T8300 2.4Ghz / 3GB DDR2-667 / (Dell Inspiron 1525) Display (Monitor): DELL Ultrasharp 2709W + DELL Ultrasharp 2001FP Display (Projector): Epson TW-3500 (Latest Model) Headphones: Etymotic hf2 / Ultimate Ears Triple.fi 10 Pro |

| I'm guessing it's not the drives, since you're getting the same issue (Data corruption) on both drives. When I've had data corruption issues similar to that (MBR corruption in my case) in the past, it was actually the controller that was to blame. Have you tried them in a different machine with different cables, etc.? That'd be the easiest way to test if it's the drive or the hardware it's connected to. Good luck.   |

| Just had the chkdsk problem too. Problem solved. I recovered my slave drive and 90% of the files, 1. I got a drive caddy so i could access it via usb after windows had started. This stopped C.D. Trying to scan it and allowed me to view the files. 2. Though i could see the files i couldn't access them (C.D. Screwed that up) however i downloade a free file recovery program (pci_filerecovery.exe) and bit by bit managed to recover all the files that weren't on damaged secters of the disk. ... |

| Maxtor have a bad recent history especially with nvidia boards & series 10 drives:- Maxtor Diamond Max 10 - Possible solutions & solution for disappearing Maxtor drives? I used to happily use maxtor series 9 drives but won'y touch the new drives, seeing the issues that occur.
