Title: HDD Help
Post by: Supertoaster on September 28, 2011, 11:09:23 PM: I'm planning to buy a new one, because fucking Cake Face has me really paranoid that this hard drive is going to fail soon.

It has to be at least 1TB
3GB/s (motherboard doesn't support more then that)
Cannot be Western Digital.

He has spoken.

Seriously, get Samsung. They're pretty cheap and extremely reliable. You can pick up a 1TB for $60.

yeah thats the one I was looking at, there was a seagate one with about the same specs for cheaper but it was one of those Eco Green things I don't really need. IDC about the sound as long as its not overly loud.

Yeah, Ive never had an issue with a WD that wasnt my fault (Hard or multiple falls and such). I just dont see why everyone hates WD.
Also, ecogreen drives dont suffer much in performance, but its a joke anyways... Harddrives dont use much power regardless. 60 watt lightbulb, or a 59 watt, sir?
