to choose hdd...i'd suggest ... don get maxtor... failed me the most.

yeah... if u use it just for storage...

wah then u sure hav a lot very painful experience on data lost loh...

every piece of hdd.... no matter wat brand ... new one(juz came out from factory) or old one ... big or small capacity... 3.5'' or 2.5''.... wil hav certain amount of bad sectors... juz dat it is marked ( another word used is 'fixed' which i don like) to not being detected or being used so dat data written wil not corrupted. Some software claimed dat it is capable to recover or fix (again i don like diz word), but the fact behind it is still marking the bad cluster not fixing it, 'fix' is making a thing bec to normal n useable...
