Is your old HDD a SATA ?... It should be Sata 2 I think. But I never heard of a brand like maxtor.

it was a hdd company, it has been acquired by seagate. Source- Maxtor is now Seagate

All products under maxtor are under seagate. Yiu can get product support from seagate also.if the hdd is under warranty, you can get warrenty from seagate.

if it is SATA 2 then you can use it with new config.

BTW , how old is it?
