ghost eh? use for what? transfer all your file into the other HDD? same file as you transfer?

For large capacity hard disk, it might easily spoilt if get too hot. I remember that I read a report regarding hard disk on cnets news, it have say that for a large capacity hard disk, because they make the point very small, so it could have something happen to those point. I am not familier with those technical word and forget where the report now.

Anyway, I and my brother currently have 3 spoilt seagate 30GB hardisk now, but all are use for around 5 - 6 years liao. Now have another 200GB Seagate hard disk, awaiting another WD 120GB hard disk to come tomorrow which I buy from a seller in this forum.

I think it is depend on your luck. My sister Quamtum 30GB hard disk just nearly die this year after arounf 5 years using it. It become very slow and when I check it at my PC, it have SMART error. Hard to access the file. I spend more than 10 hours to recover the data inside it via a software, nearly draging my PC to die.

40gb master.... 120gb second...
i'm doing editting 4 the studio... damp... all lost.......
btw i got burn into the cds...

then we all going to buy Seagate or samsung or Hitachi instead loh.

hi guys, i am using Hitachi for 2 years +, and it seems to be working so well till today.... , and it is fast too...

So far, used Maxtor and IBM no problems for 6 years. But got problem with Western Digital, probably due to external use (others are internal).

is like that one lah. just depend on your luck. when you in luck, you can use your HDD for above 6 years and if you not in luck, one week can kong your HDD.

What's your temp for Seagate HDD?
Throughout my experience, Seagate HDDs temp is higher than of WDs

Currently my 80GB WD is 38c and my 320GB Seagate is already at 44c

Ya,my seagate also reports higher temp than the Western D one.It's normal.

I'm using the older version, very handy if you want to format your computer often. Just create an image of your existing HDD and restore it at a later time

my 160gb seagate wo air cond is 38c now, night is 34c.

I think so. My WD 2500JD died recently (SMART error) and my Maxtor 200GB is starting to make strange noise. Both have been running hot at 45-50C for 2 yrs.

wah that's hot! maybe the newer ones run cool now cos my new maxtor doesn't go anything over 36C and usually stays around 33C. however, I am getting a hdd fan just in case.

hmm.. i wonder where to get HDD fan eh? lowyat got sell or not and what is the price??

Rm15... in melacca... is cheap stuff lar...

Yours is low even wo aircond
My old 40GB Seagate normal also 40c already wo aircond
with air cond lowest is 32c

but for the 320GB 1...lowest also 38c only

maybe good hdds run hotter? my samsung runs at 40'c while my maxtor 30'c only.

woot~~ i bought a new HDD. WD 160G sata2 and guess what. run hottest in this thread. 54C!!!!
