I dont trust anybody I still have my 6 year old Maxtor rock solid and still working... on the other hand, 2 months ago I bought an 80Gig Maxtor and it didnt even last the 2 months... I've had 3 HDDs die on me and let me tell you..the feeling is not good and about the defragmenting, it doesnt help it as much as it keeps it running fast -Emo
