Im wondering whether to rma it..
I dont quite see where the problem is? Is it acting strangely?
my old hitachi one said 80% everyday of its life. Its still going now after about 3 yrs. My old man uses it now.
they wont have that back unless there own software says its faulty.

Have you tried the manufacturers own software? Its usually the best indicator to be fair.

BTW think your drives ok at that
Got reading this thread and thought id have a go too.
I came back from a LaN yesterday (possibly my last one ever as im selling the gaming computer) and there was a buzzing noise coming from what appears to be my HDDs. Here are my x2 drives and results:
Your hard disk is a Maxtor 6L300S0 with firmware BANC1G10.
The average temperature for this hard disk is 36C (MIN=26C MAX=49C) and yours is 30C.

Testing software is Speed Fan (http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php)
Now the WD Raptor looks ok but im very concerned about the Maxtor. Should i be writting all my files to DVD as we speak? or rushing to PC world for a backup drive? Looks bad to me!
Dont rely on the program. Run maxtors own utlities.
