But being a hardware maniac I've had my share of HDD.

My first one was a 1 Gb HDD *about...6 years ago* aquired with a 586 computer which ran for 4 with no difficulties until the power source burned it down . Very sad moment.

Then i got a 500 MB Samgung one which Lasted till 6 months ago when it suddently died

I leaped ahead with a 10 GB one *quantum fireball* which Lasted about 2 years until while diembeling the whole computer *like i frequestly do* i droped my toolbox right on top of the hdd... Guess that was too much for it

I currently have a IBM DEATHstar 80 GB 7200 rpm ATA 133 *which has Lasted for 2 years and still lives quite well*, one 80 Gb Maxtor 7200 rpm ATA 133 and 40 GB Maxtor the same specifications.

200 Gb of movies, games, programs
Still got two 20 Megs HDD's, altough they don't run very much these days they are still flawless and Last summer they ran for about 10 hours..
