You are buying a disposable consumer item. If it goes bad it is meant to be thrown away. For example: Maxtor does NOT provide service information for their drives to ANY major disk service places. You are stuck in going to them. They will not even provide you with a technical manual. What to do: good question.... Maxtor is still among the most reliable drives made, not mentioning being very good in performance also. As for myself.... I think I am getting a fujitsu ... they seem to make competatively priced stuff that is at least as reliable... but MORE importantly , they ARE willing to service it and/or share the service information with outside contractors.
