Re: Re: Cheap 40Gb HDD

[ho yin ng <yahoogroups@xxxxxxx>]

Personally I don't believe in best and cheapest.

Of all the HDs that I have gone through .. and it is quite a few ..

I rather spend more money and I never purchase any hard disk that does not
have either Seagate or Western digital written on them.



I have killed about 6 IBM HDs and a similar number of Maxtor HDs. I have
only killed on Fujitsu HD but that was a 2.5" one and it was very
noisy!
but then that has been my only Fujitsu one!

Currently I run 2x200gb WD externally on firewire in a Raid.

Internally on my G3 3 120gb Western digitals and one 120gb Seagate.

My G4 Cube has a 120gb Seagate

My G4 sawtooth has a 20gb WD and a 60gb Maxtor which I resurrected from the
dead!! But I am wary it will die again soon!

In my pc 4x40gb Seagates

In my dads pc a 20gb Quantum which I resurrected by jump starting!

All the rest I have either binned or got refunds after returning to their
manufacturer through their RMA about once every month.

Such a sad story and one I would not wish on anyone.
