Last year (in May) I had buy a WD Caviar Green 1TB hadisk, it just corrupt before 2 months of using, so I claim warranty and they replace with new one but the same model. Now today, almost a year after, it start to give me the same symptom like the 1st one which had problem before.

So I thinks its time for me to do a backup... Guys, do you have any suggestion what brand of hdisk I should grab now, thanks in advance smile.gif

Seagate or Hitachi now, Samsung's tech already bought over by Seagate otherwise I would suggest that.
My 1TB WDC Green also having some bad sectors but solved by LLF (Low Level Format) it, got a permanent bad sector now, although can't warranty but seems fine, for now anyway.
Just watch the SMART to see which attribute is causing the corruption, mostly is the "Pending Sector Count" of which part file is unreadable thus corrupted the file. You can RMA again, if the warranty already out, backup all to external HDD and LLF it, you can use clone software such as Acronis for ease of backup and restore of all the files.
Hiren's bootCD (3rd party edition) has those Acronis boot (can't give links here) and also Mini XP which has the LLF software, convenient enough and can be done within few hours, with a few reboots of course.

Oh thanks a lot for the given tips, surely will backup it and do LLF after this. Thanks again rolleyes.gif
