I'm having problems with this disk just after startup, and it seem to me
its related to temperature. Occationally, when starting up with disk @ room

If you have the drives on a RELENG_5 box, try

I have had spectacularly bad luck with Maxtor SATA drives. I've already
RMA'd 4 of 8 drives and have 2 more waiting to go back. 1 was DOA, the
rest failed completely while in operation (typically locking up the
machine). These were all Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 6Y160M0 160GB Serial

Hi folks;
New one...
I've got a 2 x SATA system here I'm playing with in preparation to move
over production to 5.x.
These drives have been working under 4.x for quite some time - they're 250GB
Maxtor disks
ad4: 239372MB [486344/16/63] at ata2-master SATA150
ad6: 239372MB [486344/16/63]
Thanks for your advice.
