Seems ANOTHER of my drives is on it's way out, a 1TB external WD... this makes it the 2nd drive to start failing for me recently.
In fact looking back at things I have only 2 drives to last more than 3 years, one is an old 80GB Samsung IDE, and the other is an oldish Seagate external in it's 5th year now.
What is it with hard drives failing within 3 years? I've had this occur with all brands now, be it WD, Seagate, Samsung or Maxtor ... starting to really annoy me when they fail and I lose a lot of files
Seriously considering going to RAID now just because of the failure rates.
Someone recommend me some 1tb drives that will LAST and don't cost an arm and a leg (current set up is 2 Sammy 1tb F1s, Sammy 80GB OS drive, WD & Maxtor)
