Am buying 2 more TB hard disk. Which one you guys recommend? Seagate or WD or Samsung or Hitachi or Fujitsu ?

For heavy duty use --- buy 2 now to try out, and if they pass the tourture test, will buy 3 more later, for raid configuration.

thanks for sharing !

about the wd 640GB HD --- this is my suggestion ....

DON'T BUY IT !!!

I bought one when it baru came out, within weeks, HD starts to behave strangely.

Upon checking -- BAD SECTORS !!

C'mon la ! Bad sectors??

This is supposed to be a "perpendicular recording" drive, and still bad sectors?

wat strange problem u mean? may i noe? i have been using for months and no problems up...perhaps only ur hdd kena...how do u noe its bad sector?

when reading, the thing keeps spinning and spinning and spinning ... slow response ... and at last, I ran a chkdsk on it to diagnose.

found --- bad sectors

no wonder the thing keeps spinning and spinning --- things stored on bad sectors how to read?

Also, it gets very VERY HOT !

The Seagate 1TB drive that I'm using on another PC don't even get so hot. This 640GB disk, sigh ....
