N1K Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 I have two SATA Maxtor 80GB disks and I'm very satisfied, but occasionally I'm hearing strange clicks from this disks, but disks report no errors. I read somewhere that this is normal behaviour for Maxtor disks..When I hear strange clicks on disks I know that disk working time is near end..

Nerwin Posted January 9, 2006 Author Share Posted January 9, 2006 I Also had to many problems with my old maxtor 160gb hard drive and I could not return it so I took it out of my computer and smash it on the floor into bunch of pieces, so then i bought a WD 250Gb SATA-150 Never had any problems with it.

Maleko Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 lol, the joy of beating a broken hard drive!when i was working at a online computer supplier, we had mostly maxtors back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Can't really beat 2 x WD Raptors in RAID 0 can you ?I don't think the speed of the drive is what makes it a good HD. I'm not picky about the speed. My 2.5 year old WD 120 GB recently died and I got a Seagate SATA 80GB NCQ 8MB 11MS from NCIX and it's very fast.Also, it depends on whether or not you take care of your drive. If you never defragment or defrag once a year, your drive will bail on you in 3 years instead of 5, for example, I think. What makes a drive a good one, i think, is how durable and reliable it is. Hell, Seagate came up with NCQ. I voted for Seagate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcarle Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 The WD Raptor has speed combined with enterprise level quality and a 5 year warranty. I'm sorry, but the fastest SATA drive on the market combined with quality and 5 years? You can't beat that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maleko Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Totally right jcarle, I'd love some raptor drives...you want these now jcarle:Western Digital Raptor 150GB WD1500ADFD 10,000RPM SATA 16MBoh yes...but at over £200.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcarle Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I'm already looking at changing my two 74GB with two 150GB, but that's going to have to wait a little. New car payment = less upgrade cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonu27 Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 I chose WD but Seagate just as the same.500GB HDD from Seagate looks very good, and perform well I have heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda43 Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 I bought A WD SATA drive in June 2005. Since then I've had to replace it three times.I'm currently using a Maxtor SATA 160gig., with NO problems.Most of the tech's I rub elbows with recognize that WD's quality is just NOT there, and to preserve their own reputations, they just won't use WD drives. WD has several different plants in different countries, most are in the far east.The last RMA drive I got back from WD was made in Malaysia and was badly scratched like it had been kicked accross a cement floor. I won't even use it. Someone want a freebee? Cheers,Andromeda43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
