i killed a WD Black 1TB with 1xxx bad sectors....

Wow haha how did you achieve that? My WDs are amazing in terms of reliability. I'd think my current WD black 2TB is the fastest and most stable HDD I've ever used so far. If I had a choice to buy another HDD, it will be WD black 2TB again.

Hi guys,

can a good working condition motherboard kill harddrives?

Because I've changed like 5 hdds in 2 years... 3 WDs, 1 Samsung, and then back to WD.

helpppp

As I know it won't.

Maybe u can specify the reason of changing HDDs. For example bad sector, power failure or etc...

Also mention how u r using HDDs. Always used for downloading? Didn't shutdown PC properly? Or etc...

Hey guys,instead of posting thread,ill ust post here since here is about hdd..

I use my hdd like normal.... seagate 320GB.. When suddenly,i plug in the hdd,it asks to install like a software.. but i dun have any software to be installed since b4 this i use just nice....

U mean u r using same portable HDD on same computer?

Guys, Recent,y I dint open my laptop for 7 days. AFter i open, the system say hardisk failed. but sometime i can access to the computer also. May i know what is the problem?thx

i'm not sure. last time happen to my friend lappy. i try to open the hdd and then put it back. then problem solve. but this prob can be occure due to other reason

anyone here have experience using up to 6 years HDD wt problem?

i only manage to get 5 years then change new one. i'm changing the hdd due to space (low capacity) and the hdd read slower than 1st 2 years. to much format + transfer data maybe...
