This is the third Maxtor OneTouch III that I have had the misfortune of dealing with. Today, the third one has died. No warning, just a clicking noise, and then the top white light starts to flash."kernel[0]: disk3s3: I/O error." is what you'll see in /var/log/system.log. I'm used to it because the other two units met with the same fate.Thank god for backups - but they're on a Western Digital unit. At least it still works, unlike these heaps of cow manure.
