Wow. That’s insane. In my experience, Maxtors never ****ing die. Some older ones run kinda hot, and quite loud, but they never… ever... ****ing die. Seagates are pretty good as well. But Western Digital drives die. Not just by a slight margin, but EVERY ****ING WESTERN DIGITAL DRIVE I EVER SEE is ****ing DEAD or DYING. They usually just stop spinning up, or clunk out and don’t start up properly, so you can’t even access a single byte of data (bad head/heads). But if I held onto every dead WD hard drive I’ve run across (I still have a small stack of them), it would take up a whole drawer. I can practically predict what kind of hard drive is in a computer… if it’s a desktop computer and it has hard drive problems, I can just say “let me guess, Western Digital”, and sure enough, WD. Every ****ing time.
My experience with Seagate is interesting though. One hard drive, it was pbumword-protected and I just wanted a ****ing hard drive, didn’t care what was on it. I cleared the drive with the master pbumword and it was good to go! Another drive was totally unusable… wouldn’t read everything, always jammed up. I spent a couple nights on a looped erase function, then a looped read-and-remap function, and now I’ve got the hard drive 100% working great with no bad sectors at all. Quite amazing how resilient Seagates are. Log in to see images! Log in to see images! Log in to see images! http://falconfour.com/bumhurt-cinematic |
