I have yet to see a half hight Maxtor survive more than 3 years
having said that, i don't know if it is a half hight one.

I have two, they're even second hand.
They're hot buggers, but they work.

I just dont trust them
having said that the newer maxtors are ok, just them older half height things gave us a shit load of trouble (75% returns)
