It seems I'm lucky enough to have never owned an OCZ product :P I have yet to try an SSD, still using my regular HDD's :P

Amazing! I refuse to use internal mechanical drivers, mainly due to the noise. I might have something for you when we get to Florida :)

You're amazing! Up until now I've just chosen what has the highest capacity for the best price. I do get 7200 rpm on my internal drives though. Should be fun when you come to Florida :)

Your " mirroring " experience is laughable since at best you have what 30-50 different brand drives that are ran in similar environments?. You've experienced a case of bandwagon-ing,  granted google is a good wagon, even then...
30-50 drives at best?
Only if you count the first floor.  :)) 

Shall we head into the basement and start counting? How about the 7 satellite offices or my other clients?

What the hell do you guys fill these drives up with? I mean, if you're in audio/video production I can understand, but seriously...
Home build PVR's, extreme music collections... Many people rip their DVD's and make on demand movie players.


Back when 250 gig drives were the biggest you could get for a reasonable price, I knew someone with 700 gigs of mp3's. It took around 150 DVD's to backup.

i always use WD blacks.  i never had a problem them with them even in a raid config.

That's what I'm going to buy soon. 5-year warranty + encryption = win.

Hence.. Less heat = better..

Actually, HDDs in cold (definitely about 0 °C or less) environments are more prone to failure.

I only buy those seagates, and you have to buy 3-4 at a time, because at least 1 of them will be faulty...

That's ridiculous. Always buy drives from different manufacturers, or at least different batches, so they won't fail at the same time in the future.

On topic: I've had two 500GB drives (one internal, one external for backups) for two years, and I'm fine. I don't collect data, only backup books (few hundred MBs), music (currently ~30 GB, mostly 320kbps MP3s) and my own photos (probably about 6 GB a year).

There's a reason I ONLY buy those seagates though, because they're the cheapest ones per GB...  3 years in a row I've bought 3 at a time, and I've always gotten 1 with bad sectors after a week of testing..

You could make infinite excuses about my computers being faulty, but the ones that didn't have sector problems from 2 years ago are still working perfectly today..



x 2.  My Seagate external died very quickly.  A couple of weeks.

Haven't had a hard drive die on me in...15 years now?

I have a 250gb WD that I bought in early '07 that's still going strong. Two others, including a seagate external, from the same year are in great shape.

Think I'm the only person who's had a good experience with OCZ. I have two 120gb Vertex 3's that are two years old and have been rock solid.

And watch..tomorrow I'll have everything blow up on me just for toting fate.

I had an OS HDD die on me. But I put that thing through 6+ years of hard work. All day, every day seeding, as well as general everyday computer use. I actually bought another PATA drive to replace it, and get my "seedbox" back up and running.
