I think the hard disk with OS on it would be hotter compare those without OS, right?

my dedicated BT HDD is running at 34C, 2C hotter than XP disk, maybe cause of keep writing/reading periodically in BT

Samsung 160GB SATA2 how many years of warranty?

based on thundermatch, both Samsung and WD are in same price,
anyway, I think WD is the easiest to RMA isn't ? Coz its factory is just in PJ area.

now i use hitachi 160gb 7200 rpm ide. dunno either its good enuf or not. becoz i think hitachi brand not strong as WD or maxtor. but the seller say hitachi warranty is 3 year n wd/ maxtor onli 1 year. so better buy 3 year warranty. then i follow what seller say... any1 can comment?

WD got 3 year warranty, same as newer Maxtor HDD.
now the question is are we able to send RMA ourselves to PJ WD factory after the first year of purchase?

now using Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 slim body type
using HD tune to check the temperature, heck its 44C ! shocking.gif
the hottest HDD I have used ever, along with WD which is just 37-38 C only, the old Maxtor also never exceed 40C

is my seagate overheating now? is it normal for this model to be this hot?

Why is the Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 always having the yellow spot shown in HD tune?

This also happens to my 1 year old Seagate 160 GB, also of the same 7200.10
