What drives were you using or amps did they use? I have some 40GB
Maxtor's here given to me by a friend that knows his hardware pretty
good. These drives are actually smaller in size than the 15.3GB Seagate
drives I have and he said to check the specs on both to see if the
Maxtor's even use as much or more amps.
