Hi there,just want to ask. Recently my hdd acting weirdly. It is a not so old HDD, lifespan < 6 month (1TB WD Green). The problem is that it will random lockup and I need to remove the SATA cable and power up and the HDD will produce a spinning sound. Then power off and reinsert back the SATA cable and it will boot nicely into the windows. If I did not do the remove sata process it will just loading at the windows XP screen like forever. Any advice beside backup the data(currently slowly doing it)? It is driving me crazy all my data is in this HDD and I want to know what is happening.My old maxtor HD >3 years did not even have this kind of problem.

I hear that Intel makes the best SSDs now. But SSDs are still too expensive... If I wanted to buy one, I would like it to be at least 1Tb.

That will likely be a few more years in the making, and will be another couple before they get affordable. Your best bet would be in 2015 or later. And by then if the conventional HDD is still around, they'll be having capacities of up till 10TB. More than most people use in an entire lifetime. As for the SSD market, Intel's x25-m offers probably the best bang for buck factor. Though OCZ is starting to give them a run for their money. |

Every 6 months it's going to double in size as it's made with the same technology as the thumbdrives and SD cards. SSDs are going to go out-of-date quickly like this. Oh, we do have 1Tb SSDs already by OCZ, it's the PCI-e version and it costs RM4,000! |

imo, ssd are merely used for loading windows and maybe some heavy software application. i think its not a good idea to spend so much just for storage. to me, 160gb is more than enough for windows |

I'm more into the multimedia stuff and it really takes a lot of space besides i kept too many songs inside the hdd too...  |
