System Specs

Go read the papers that google did on drives, they show most of the ideas people have about drives is bullshit, while they did not mention brands only one had a higher failure rate, and it was only by a couple percent.


I have used hundreds of hard drives, and failures usually occurred from

Bad cable and the drive gets blamed.
PSU failure caused damage to the drive
Motherboard issues, such as blown or dead caps
User damage.


I use seagate/hitachi/WD and have had no real issues with any. I used Quantum fireball drives for years and sill have some that work.
