now no more Maxtor...
there is onyl two hdd you can rely on...

Seagate and WD...not sure with samsung!!

when it show the smart error message to you,
you still use for 1 or 3 day...
after that it will totaly unable to use/detect!!!

i think you should enable your SMART, many people recommend to enable it. anythings happen with the hdd ie. hdd failure, it will show you a warning b4 the hdd fail....

i got my new Seagate 80G 2MB...
not sur ehow long it can survive....

alamak..
you bought your Samsung hdd already....
why don't you give it a try for Seagate?!

but never mind, let see how good is the Samsung hdd can last....
later you can tell us how good it is....

for a hdd can last for 5 years, is it consider a good already?
or should be greater than that?

but mine 20G Quantum hdd, still dunning now without giving me any problem,
no bad sectors, no SMART error, none.. nothing...
it's already serving me well for about 6 years...
i predict, it's still can serve me another few more years, i think, let's see how...

i think, hdd can last for 5 years consider ok right? rather than a year problem occurs!!

inside the desktop casing.....

does anyone know where to send for warrenty service for WD?

poor thing, end up, been take over by other...

i am using my 80GB, 2mb buffer...
so far so good... let see how long does this hdd will survive!!

i am going to buy larger hdd, need to have more spaces to store files....

i just bought my new hdd in startec...
is hitachi brand...

i am satisfy with seagate hdd, it seem running smoothly in my 2nd slave hdd...

now i am going to install the new hitachi hdd, i pray the hardware error will not like what wd has...

i got both wd hdd, both also got SMART error!!
not more than a year, error occur!!

oh ya...true...
i chose hitachi because....15 word slogan...

nah...
firstly is the seller he recommend me, although the warrenty is not much as what seagate offer, but he said, selling many units and none of them bring back for RMA.

another thingis, i saw a chip printed with infineon logo. then i think this hdd should be ok...

and now, i will test see how long can this hdd last...


negative, i just saw the name written hitachi deskstar, my friend told me before deskstar hdd is not that reliable...it's related with IBM or something...
hmm, let me test it and see how good is this hdd.

another good things is, it's came with a plastic container, like those time we bought the hdd with the transparent cover rather than just the plastic bag. nice packaging

Startec....
not sure for the reliability, and this is my first time using hitachi hdd....

but the capacity is much more than seagate as well as wd!!

noise is not the problem...
both of my recent wd hdd, not more than a year, SMART occur...!!

so now i willnever ever go for we already!

hou can either go for seagate or hitachi...

wd was black listed in my list already

since seagate offer 5 years, mm, maybe you can go for seagate!

good luck...!!

i lost many data due to those hdd!!!

thanks to wd!!!
