It's probably due by now. The old 120/200GB Maxtors were prettu good, except when inadequately cooled. Then they died very fast. But I had something 40 running for 3 years with one failure that could not be explained by other causes (some were mechanically damaged). This did however result in frequent failures in badly cooled PCs and the Maxtor USB drives of that time also had bad cooling. This drive would have benefitted from an "expert use only" sticker.
