R.I.P Hardrive...R.I.P

[RichardE]

My first hardrive I ever got, a 2GB one that my old man bought me back in the day finally died tonight. I had kept it going for years wondering how long it would last. I spent an hour trying to bring it back to life, but to no avail


We had alot of memories old friend........Goodluck in Hardrive heaven

My record is with a 40 gig hard drive I got back in 2000. It was used daily and finally died back in 2007

i've had only 3 hard drives die on me, and several that are 5+ years old in TiVos with constant usage and they are going tough (maxtor, and a few WDs)

wasn't WD not a well-liked brand back then? like people thought they were unreliable? hmm are they even still around...

I think I have my first ever HD sitting somewhere in the basement. 172 MB.

Doesn't something really cool happen if you spin them backwards? :laugh:

I still have a 75GXP running in my system. It sounds like it's going to rip itself apart, but she's still going strong.

 

[Motek]

Do HDDs last longer than DVDs (kept in good condition) ?
