I ran a wd caviar 307AA 30.7gb drive for 2 years. Then I upgraded to a maxtor 60gb diamondmax drive. After a few cold days the maxtor died. The system would boot really slow then stop. If I let the system run the drive would warm up and work correctly. Eventually some files got corrupted and windows XP would not start. I reinstalled windows 3 or 4 times only to have files get corrupted again the next cold day before I gave up on the drive. I put the wd drive back in with no problems, cold days and all. I tried the maxtor drive in a desktop and it dosent work as a boot drive anymore. It will however let me store data on it.
