Drives I've purchased since 01 Jan 2005: Seagate, Hitachi & Samsung. The what do you think of the Hitachi so far?
I've purchased a total of 3 IBM/Hitachi IDE drives over the past several years. The first was a 40G PATA. It had to be replaced at age 6 weeks, then again at age 1 year. The 2nd replacement has been running 24/7 about 30 months now. The 2nd was an 80G PATA. It had to be replaced at age 3 months. I then used it about 1 year in a 24/7 system before making a bench drive out of it (benchmarking, backups, experiments, troubleshooting in various systems). It is now in my newest system waiting for me to finish deciding on its ultimate configuration. The system and drive details are in my Wed, 06 Apr 2005 17:29:43 -0400 post in this thread and http://www.pcchips.com.tw/PCCWeb/Products/ProductsDetail.aspx?MenuID=92&LanID=0&DetailID=298&DetailName=Specification -- "Love your neighbor as yourself."
