I have posted on here recently about my aim to get an SSD at christmas, the Bigfoot 120gb has drawn my attention :)
Anyway when i turned on the PC on Saturday it went into checkdisk mode, i don't think it found any problems and proceeded to boot windows.
Yesterday when i booted up i thought i heard a noise but wasn't sure as the tv was on at the time.
Tonight , we have noise, in fact it sounds suspiciously like hard drive noise. The only way to describe it is like normal hard drive clickety click but 10 times louder.
But as windows loaded the noise went away and now it's perfectly silent.

I may be asking the obvious here but in all my years of PC'ing i have never had a hard drive fail on me..................but is that what's happening now?
 
I'm backing up as we speak.................my steam games are taking ages ;(

Anyway if i get the OCZ bigfoot 120 gb it's not big enough for my needs.
My plan was to use the OCZ for windows and apps and leave my games on my current 750gb samsung spinpoint F1.
Should i just purchase the bigfoot and also another samsung spinpoint, say 500gb?
 
The drive is maybe 2 and a half years old give or take.

Is the windows disk checker any good or should i download something else?
 
wow that was quick, ran it and well the outcome was health status - good - 32oC

What exactly was i looking for, red errors?
