Haven't seen one go longer than 18 months roughly. They are noisy too.
What is the operating temp range for a hard drive? Is 26-32 C within spec?

I bet its not as noisey as my 3gig Western Digital, I bought exrta ram
and moved files on to my quiter old drive to silence it.
The older drive has a faint rustleing of leaves sound whilst the new one
sounds like a cross between creaking floor boards and an old grandfather
clock mixed in with the grinding of a cars gearbox!! Wanna swop!
I think 5400 drives have no temp probs but 7200 have more of a
heat 'issue', don't they have a fan too?

one with the 8mb cache. Anyway, sounds like a traink clacking around
on the tracks.

Nivek said:I've had the best luck with Maxtor drives. I used to be a big Western
Digital fan, but I gave up on WD drives after getting 3 bad ones in a
row. All failing within days of warranty expiration.

this might just be the fact that they are so popular and common, rather
than any inherent problems.
