Buy 2 and RAID1, either 1 fail you still have 1 going.
If you want a little more space and speed, buy 3+ and go for RAID5.
There's no such thing as reliable that guarantee for at least 1 year, you just need to take chances, and of course monitor the SMART regularly to ensure the hard disk is in good condition, it should warn you if it might fail soon.

This reliability question has been going on and on forever, and the answer is there's NO hard disk out there that can guarantee that.

Anyone knows the current market price for Samsung 2Tb HD204UI? Looking for storage space since my current one is running out soon. Thanks.

Bookmark these 2 website for your price list reference. Check them around once every week.
As I said reference, you shouldn't get exact price all around Malaysia, different state, city, shop has different prices from different supplier.

Thank you very much for your assistance, wildwestgoh & cannavaro. I know the prices will be different but just want to know what's the price for it lately cause seen lots of ups and downs in the price of the HDD.

Hey, got a Seagate HDD IDE.......I scan with WD Scan.......got bad sectors.

But some bad sectors cannot be fixed.

Is there another program can use to fix the bad sectors. Around How long then the thing most probably will kong Thank you

Check the SMART for "Pending Sectors Count", "Reallocate Sectors Count", "Uncorrectable Sectors Count" for more information on your hard disk status, if such numbers are high, it's preferred not to use the hard disk anymore, you'll end up losing data, go for new hard disk.

hey...noob here...
juz wanna ask how to recover the data from a damage ext hard disk?
any shops offer this kind of service in kl?

i need to know which one is better, seagate or WD for external hard disk...
