Maxtor 'Basic' external HD question
Does anybody know if Maxtor's 'Basic' USB HDD uses one HDD mechanism or two in order to achieve the quoted capacities?
I'm going to be running a RAID-0 setup again shortly, and I want to be able to backup to an external drive, but I know that the likes of the Lacie Big Disks actually have two drive mechanisms in there that are configured using JBOD or similar ? therefore making them completely unsuitable as a backup volume.
I just wondered if the Maxtor 'Basic' was the same?

Personally I've had bad experiences with Maxtor though, not exactly the epitome of reliability IMHO.
I didn't think of that! Obvious now you mention it.
Thanks for that!
