why don i u try to eject it..hehe mybe it can work as protable hdd..juz kidding

hitachi must good hdd

mostly 99% of my hdd are Western digital, those old drives still working great after few years

actually Hitachi is a good choice for hdd...mostly notebook hdd nowadays use hitachi hdd....
my lappie's hitachi hdd not giving me any problem after 2 years++ of using....
their after sale service is really good n fast, if u havin problem on hdd n send to them 2day, u may get back on the next day or 2 days after, of coz hav to depend on how fast ur seller act also....

once they detect is bad sectors problem, straight away 1-1 exchange...correct me if i'm wrong

currently using Wd also..fren recommend me one..

99%? Where did the 1% go?

my maxtor 40gb dead few weeks ago..will replace it after raya..but my hd king will be quantum 1gb..still alive..hehe (just keep it..not using anymore)

I got a few Quantum Fireball IDE still ok even after 7 years
Damp fast at that time in term of performance (5400rpm).

I fell that nowadays HDD not that lasting, much easier to get bad sectors.
Maybe this is due to the capacity/ density increase a lot and turning at higher rpm??

Damp scare to store important data in HDD already, always need to do backup
Sometime HDD will just kong immediately, no sign at all....just functioning OK a few seconds before than suddenly ....gone !

mybe this because hdd nowdays work very hard..lot of program used high resource and hdd will need to read..write and rewrite again again..previous year hdd only used to run simple program like word and internet browsing.. Now computer is become a game console..so think bout the burden that hdd need to carry..

important to make back up for ur data..back up at dvd lor if u scared to used hdd. .

Me too, have a 20GB Quantum lying at somewhere collecting dust.

I still got Fireball 6.4GB which still running strong

last time i using maxtor. i using it from year 2001. just now the hdd broken. so, using it for 6 years without prob. now i using wastern digital. the bad xperience bout this western is i got bad sector in my 250gb hdd. mayb that not my luck. becoz i know wd is 1 of the best hdd.

Use it as thumbdrive.

hey ppl.between western digital n seagate,which one is better n which one gives the longest warranty?i m planning 2 add another 320GB in2 the rig.

Seagate give 5 years warranty...WD I not sure...should be around 3-5 years...

Western Digital.

go for seagate..5 years warantry..all my hdd are seagate

Good idea dude!

What a big ass thumb drive....
When in plubic I take out this "changgih" thumb drive...a lot of people wi start asking me:

"dude, how much you bought this? 6GB woh....I still using 1GB thumb drive only!"

i've only bought seagate. the 3-4 year old one gets louder when seeking. it was quiet when new. a year old 250GB still works like new.
of course except for notebook. got a compaq v3000. it WD. kinda noisy for my liking. benq t31, a hitachi, hella silent. hitachi wins. oh and a seagate 2.5" as external drive is even more silent.

I think WD RAID version quite good. But I am now using Seagate Barracuda ES RAID ready. so far quite okay in RAID 1.
