I used the 80, 120 and 160GB version of that series in some of my servers built 2 years ago. Out of the 18 disks originally put in, I have 4 broken ones on my desk now.

I'm using 3ware 7500-4 for the PATA. Forgot what the SATA 3ware controller was, but so far no problem with that one (also on Maxtor disks). /Robin
