Good Hard Disk - Dead Hard Disk

The site wasn’t updated almost for three weeks for one reason - my hard disk decided to say good bye to me. He died fast and uncoverable. In service centre I was informed that pouring was corrupted and it wasn’t guarantee case. Wonderful, just wonderful! I have lost 200 gb of information and now I have to spend more $100 to buy new HDD. I’ve chosen Samsung 250 Gb IDE. Of course I would better buy SATA disk, but my Epox 8RDA3I doesn’t want any SATA drives installed in my computer:). And there are no SATA-controllers in our town. Or maybe they were available, but I didn’t see them.

My dead HDD was WD (Western Digital) 200 GB JB. Nice one. I realized after I have purchased Samsung. WD was silent and fast comparing to Samsung. And why did I buy this crap? Thanks to me, I have backuped all mega important information a day before the HDD had died. I’m still surprised, how I was lucky. Just a feeling nothing more. Have you ever got similar feeling? I bet you did.

Returning to my PCs destiny. Now it’s working fine. Of course I have lost 200 GB of important information, but I suppose it’s even better - now I have free 200 GB!

P.S. Don’t repeat my mistake - Samsung can make only TVs. Seagate and WD are still making the best HDDs in spite of my dead WD
