Had one bad harddisk in 15 years, wich was a DOA. About 50 harddisks from all manufacturers, including quite a lot Maxtors, have been working fine untill i replaced them by newer bigger and faster ones.
I have two 160 GB PATA Maxtors running 24/7 downloading from P2P and usenet, not one bad sector. None of my internal drives wich run 24/7 did fail. Cheap external drives often have a bad powersupply, bad controller and contain cheap harddisk versions. if you relly want an external one, buy a disk and a separate ecxternal case from a major brand, not the cheap rubbish.
I really don`t understand what the hell people do with their harddisks to make them fail. Bad powersupply, trowing them against the wall ?

How do you know if you really need an image backup? Consider how much you value your data, how much time (and money, if you have to pay someone else to do it) it will take to rebuild a new drive if yours fails and how inconvenienced you will be until your computer is up and running again. With external backup drives becoming increasingly affordable, even home computer users can now enjoy the security that drive to drive backup software can provide.

Restoring from an image backup eliminates all the work and time normally associated with rebuilding a new drive. When you restore the image backup to your new drive, not only all of your data files but all of your applications, your preferences, your latest hardware drivers and even your drive partitions are all transferred to your new drive. If you are restoring a boot drive image, the new drive will be bootable as well. The actual time involved in transferring the data to the new drive will depend on the size and speed of the drives.
