No limit to what a motherboard's SATA port can support.
3TB works.

Not true.
You'll need a motherboard with a Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) BIOS to support 2TB and above.

Guys, 3 TB HDD can be installed on p55 mobo? My mobo is gigabyte p55a-ud4p.
This hdd is used for data only, not OS. I am planning to buy soon.

I'm not sure whether it can support or not.
I guess Intel Storage Controller drivers does play a part here.

Guys, having multiple times copying files over and over will cause some data loses?

Some of my movie files are corrupted or having some glitch during scenes time and also not to mentions mp3.

unlikely but i experienced this, the culprit was faulty ram and eventually lead to intermittent bluescreen. do u encounter any bluescreen lately?

Don't encounter any bluescreen lately, but will keep that in mind. Thanks~

Copying files over and over will normally not cause data loss. It could be bad RAM as sotong168 suggested, or it could be that you have bad sectors, or that your HDD is dying. I would recommend doing a full HDD scan and checking the SMART attributes. You can use the HDDScan software that is linked in the first post.

Not sure if I run it right ot not, I installed HDDScan and click on "SMART". Results were all green.

@Kr0ll3R, do you use any 3rd party copy utilities? You may want to check your cables as well. Also some old chipsets (on ancient machines) such as the VIA 686B southbridge have data corruption issues with UDMA enabled (also becomes more significant if a SoundBlaster Live! soundcard is present). Certain NVIDIA chipsets also have this issue (with SoundBlaster Live! also)... hmm.gif

No, I didn't use any software. It was like a normal C&P.

Don't think anything to do with my specs, I guess.

Whenever I wanna do a clean format of my drive, I move out all files (movies, music, etc) to secondary internal HDD.
And when I copy back and watch some movie files, certain scenes will have random colored line bar (I can confirm that, cause my fren who copy from me, watched it perfectly fine) or that scene can't be played.

At least I know now, copying files over times won't cause any data loss.
Thx for the helps! smile.gif

Does the same thing occur when playing the file directly from the secondary internal HDD? hmm.gif

Erm, that I not sure, cause I only realised when I cut/move back from the secondary HDD.
Eh sorry, should be Cut, not copy. But it's the same terms I guess, where I don't keep copies in my secondary HDD.

Other files in the 2nd HDD, doin good.

QUOTE(lex @ Jun 26 2012, 05:39 PM)
Copying files shouldn't affect the data. There could be other sources of data corruption. Anyway, I usually use a MD5/SFV checksum generator and checking utility to verify my files. icon_rolleyes.gif

Is that a software to check a file error? That could come in handy. Thanks!

Then the data corruption could have occurred when transferring files (ie. that's why I've mentioned about checking the cables), and/or in the destination HDD itself. If you had overclocked your machine then try setting it back to stock speeds (e.g. possible increased bus speeds could cause data corruption). hmm.gif

Plenty of them. Just use Google with the search phrase "sfv md5 checksum checker", "md5 checksum checker", etc.. icon_rolleyes.gif

Got it, thanks!
Will check it out. Plenty of infos~ notworthy.gif

Just bought WD Blue 500GB yesterday and encounter the "Humming" sound issue.
At first I though it was the WD drive problem till I google up.

Looks like there's some "incompatibility" between Samsung Spinpoint and WD drive.
This guys had the same exact problem like me

If u google up "WD Humming", you could see alot of results relate to SS Spinpoint or vise versa.

Weird huh.

and thx to the power of google search, I found the solution to it sweat.gif (not quite, but it's better)

In depth read, Some Say Samsung, Some Say WD

I used the last person post's method.
The humming sound is significantly lower unless u're in a complete closed room.

Anybody can tell what is the warranty period of Seagate and WD internal 3.5" hard disks?

Not sure about Seagate.
Bought WD Blue 1 TB from PC Depot. (2 Years Warranty - First year shop covered)
