QUOTE(wildwestgoh @ May 14 2011, 09:58 AM) [attachmentid=2212913] Help me check see.What you should really look at is the attributes that has magenta box. Although Current Pending Sector Count is not under warranty, but you should watch out for RAW Read Error Rate and Reallocated Sector Count, as this may affect those 2 in long term, you should perform backup to avoid lost of data.

QUOTE(wildwestgoh @ May 14 2011, 11:09 AM) Have a look at the Reallocated Sector Count you'll see the RAW column has some value "BA", means there's some damage on your hard disk that's unrepairable or there's no more spare sectors to cover the damage, send for warranty, if you can still read some of your data, back them up now. Kk thanks, I gonna get a new hdd now then. Samsung spinpoint 1tb is good right? Don't trust Seagate anymore... so fail.. twice Edi ><Dynamic is for software RAID purpose. Other than that, I couldn't find any purpose for using Dynamic disk. |

My 1TB external hdd is failing =.=" WD My Book cannot trust one... one 500gb failed on me before.. now another.. Is it that external HDD is not good for sharing over the network?

I think i would prefer to buy internal hdd rather than external for now.. external hdd failed me so many times... I wanna use it solely for backup only.. never gonna put video files and run from it. Btw, is there any internal hdd plastic casing that is intended for travelling purpose?

QUOTE(wildwestgoh @ Sep 17 2011, 02:02 PM) There're plenty out there (plastic or steel casing) but 3.5" HDD require 12v power, that also means you need wall socket power to runs it (through steps down adapter), it become inconvenient in a sense. I mean those casing for u to carry internal hdd, because i normally bring my pc into airplane, but i will take the hdd out and put in my backpack lolz.. So i need something to hold my HDD..Durability of HDD will pretty much depends on your usual usage, how you handle or keep sake of the device, HDD still not drop proof yet, Transcend does implement a rug case to protect the HDD but under operation, a drop will definitely bring the HDD right to its grave. Even so, great care like mine still fail due to bad sectors, manufacturer fault, things will fail, but if you want definite rug, then take SSD, drop from 10 floor under operation and it still runs like there was nothing, but probably your other devices already met their ancestors. |
