never had a drive fail on me, even managed to revive one that had a pin ripped out the back, i reckon one of my hitatchi 7k250 drives are on there way out though (been making some funny sounds in the past few days, so im getting cautious)
Now that is one lesson everyone needs to learn from this thread - if it sounds rough, back it up quick.custard said:Lessons learned? Don't get complacent, if a drive's making funny noises don't get used to them. Swap it out as soon as possible.
You know it makes sense - having my deathstars never put me off and Ive only recently tried out WD and their Raptor goodness - both seem to produce the faster models over other manufacturers too in the same generation too...smids said:My next purchase just might be a Hitachi
I really wouldn't recommend Maxtor - look into the hitachi's - faster and more reliable.leezer3 said:Just had a DOA Segate, replaced by another DOA Segate. Waiting for a RMA number so I can swap it for a Maxtor
