AWWW CRAP!! not again!

[Adul]

I come home to find out my 30 GB WD drive failed while I was away. This goes along with my brothers failed IBM drive . I hate to rma stuff...

luckily I bought a NEW maxtor 60 GB drive before I left and installed it.

Is the cooling adequate? What in the world?

 

[Adul]

it is a nice and cool drive bay. I have an antec SX1030 case loaded with fans. Cooling isn't an issue that for sure.

 

[ChrisADuffy]

That sucks!

Is there a point to this thread?

 

[Adul]

not really I am jus tired adn cant get to sleep. jetlagged, sleep deprived, and hungry. you name it.

 

[etech]

Don't nef, it just clutters up the forum.

That is all.

 

[Adul]

your asking to much of me

I knew what you where getting at actually. I normaly wouldnt do this in GH.

Hey Adul, just out of curiosity were you overclocking your system? I've noticed that drives seem to go bad faster on my OC'd system than on my stock-speed system.


P.S. The thread looks on-topic to me. It has to do with a user's experience with a particular piece of hardware.

I now never overclock the PCI bus more than 10-12%, and preferably lower. My CPU is capable of a stable 15%+ overclock, but I can kill drives (of many brands) pretty quickly at anything over 12%. I'm keeping my system at 10% over stock at the moment.

So many IBM threads... So where are all the other WD going-belly-up threads?

 

[Adul]

just my cpu is overcloed mildy

ive had nothing but good luck with my WD drives I guess... none have ever failed on me

 

[ElFenix]

i hate that. i just bought a drive and i'm so wary of them failing that its not getting anything but back up of MP3s for 6 months.
