Hard Drive Failure
Well a dreaded hard drive failure.
So I am going to be a wee bit slow on the pbw turns... while i get the back up box up and running ( ie work computer )
So I will get all the stock games done first and then work on the mods.
Sorry for the delay.

Re: Hard Drive Failure
Why do so many HD's fail so often? It is because we all play so much SEIV?

Re: Hard Drive Failure
I have never had a HD failure. Sometimes, buying the cheapest you can find is a bad, bad idea.  |

Re: Hard Drive Failure
Of about 100 hard disks I bought/sold I had 2 failures (after about 4 years of service) - both in the early days of HDs, both cheap ones - plus one 6 month old Maxtor Last year.
I also always advise to let them run rather than switching off the computer if it is for just a few hours or less. Energy saving settings for HDs are deadly. Usually HDs running 24/7 are the most reliable.
