Maxtor was bought out by seagate a few years ago. All maxtors are now made by seagate. Hard drives fail all the time too. Almost every store online sends OEM (bare drive) in bubblewrap and/or popcorn chips, or even worse paper. If you send a drive back to any manufacturer packaged that way they won't accept it.
All their RMA process say don't do it or we won't accept it. Yet all these fuckheads are sending them out that way new just to save 10c on shipping. Most people don't even know it's damaged, because they don't read the s.m.a.r.t. features on the drives to see if it has bad sectors. So they just use it up til the fucking thing is fried...
