My experience with HDDs.

WD 80GB went kuku due to that SMART shait after a year...RMA then now still running fine and coming to one yr anniversary...hope nothing goes wrong again.

Bought a WD 120 GB during RMA period and coming to one yr anniversary as well...really hope dun both kaput on me.

my old 20GB Quantum still good though but spins at 5400rpm so less prone to fault gua.
