I have a hard drive that lists its manufacture as 'Platinum'
Does anyone know where the website for this manufacture is?

I included a picture of the drive for referance

Run a software diagnostic on the system - something like Belarc Advisor (http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html) should reveal who the real manufacturer is. :cool:

The shell is made by Maxtor. I'm sure that the guts are as well, but Maxtor software may not work with it due to firmware differences.

These "platinums" are sold as Refurbished Maxtor, and yes the Firmware is different.

What do you want to do with that hard drive? Format? Repair? Partition?
