That is false. I am not.

Really? Well this is alarming. Everyone around me has pretended I was some kind of meatbag all my life.
Western Digital 1tb for 2.5 years.
Seagate 1tb for about half a year.
Both have done well.

Seagate Barracuda 1TB.
I bought it to replace a shitty HGST E7K1000. Thing sounded like a fucking jackhammer. It literally vibrated my desk.
The Seagate is considerably quieter, and faster as it has twice the cache (64 MB vs 32 MB).
Don't fall for the HGST meme.

Lost it all. Tried finding the data by running some linux distro to get it onto an external hdd but it was beyond fucked. Motherfucking computer shop didn't even give me any refund on the part or nothing, not even a discount on a new hdd. So, right now, no hdd.
Seagate 3tb. Less than a year, it's a warranty replacement for one that lasted 7 months.

A Seagate 1TB that I've had for almost three years now.
It's still working really wellI but I've started backing up my important stuff recently because it's entering the critical age for HDDs.
WD green as an OS drive
2 years
its okay I just watch animu and it was like the cheapest 2TB drive

>>51584100
Seagate laptop HDD. It's been through some shit, but I need to replace it quick.
Anyone know how I can do a partial clone? I want to transfer the OS and drivers to my new SSD, but keep the rest of the files on the HDD.

>>51587017
>Seagate laptop SSD.
I have never seen more durable SSDs.
I have some age old 1TB seagete laptop ssd and this thing has taken a fucking BEATING and still muscles on and on.
Also why are you not using HDD Guardian? It is by far the best HDD health tool
>>51587329
>SSD
Did you mean HDD?
I downloaded the first result on google for an HDD test software after I found out about the ability to check HDD health here on /g/. Don't wanna write too much on my current HDD until my SSD gets here.
>>51584129
that's because ncis is scifi.
>>51587493
I meant SSD I got Seagate age old SSD on my laptop that has been thrown around liek a fucking trash bag and it still fucking goes on and on
>>51587586
SSD's tend to be pretty reliable. Can't wait to get mine.
1. A WD Green 2TB.
2. Year and a half
3. Piece of shit never worked, wanted to fix it instead of returning it, too lazy to fix it and warranty expired.
By all accounts it should have worked, I bought it brand new. Ah well. Now it just sits on my desk.
Quantum Fireball ST. 1997. Main OS drive for the Power Macintosh I still use daily. About 4 gigabytes and literally the only good hard drive I own. I've lost track of how many times I've replaced my shitty WD/Seagate grease bearing drives.
Speaking of hard drives, did these just come out?

Check the RPM must be around below 6k
>>51589300
Yeah, I'll have to look and see what it's actually rated at when I get home.
I'm not even sure if it's 5400 or 7200...
>>51584129
way ahead of you. I'm just finishing up a vb6 gui for extracting data from hard disk platters by simply enhancing photographs to the point that an algorithm can identify the orientation of each tiny magnetic field.
>>51589234
My 160gb barricuda ive had for like 8+ years or some shit runs nearly 24/7. I know seagate has a bad rep but shit their old drives last literally forever will not die. 6 years service or so as a main drive near 24/7 maybe off a night every week or two. It was from my first custom built PC and still is used for a few programs/media in my current build.
I've had this thing for 8 years or so now. Shits insane. It's slowed considerably but I just use it for images/porn.
Samsung 830 pro 120GB

yes, it's a bit small every now and then, but it works out.

I am not a hard drive.
my oldest one is a WD green 640gb.
it will die any moment now, especially since it has been inside my nas for almost 3 years. i got it with a prebuild computer i bought in 2007 or 8

Something cheaper than 840 Evo

HGST 1TB 7200rpm

Got them both 1 year ago with my current clevo w230ss laptop, both still going strong.

120gbs go sub $40 all the time especially right now. Brand doesn't matter much as long as there's not a high rate of failure reported and speeds aren't terrible.

Have a nature wallpaper
>>51584100
What SSD should i get?
>>51589276
There were a couple of bad batches.
They can still be the most unreliable, but the differences aren't huge on normal day to day use.

That should work.

Mostly. It makes a weird chirping noise every now and then, but otherwise it's fine

Samsung was a god tier HDD manufacturer. Seagate Spinpoint F1 with 30000 hours and still kicking.
>>51584129
from a satellite image
my main rig runs on two 80 GB Hitachi's in stripe mode and I'm still pretty happy with it. No idea how old they are.
>>51584912
Why? They literally didn't change anything and just kept making the Samsung HDD's. If you get a Seagate Barracuda nowadays it's just a re-branded Spinpoint.

Fugg just had a look at Speccy and it's a Spinpoint M 320 GB 5400 RPM and it's been running for 34,668 hours thus far.
Haven't encountered any errors I know of and it's dead quiet. Can't hear it unless I put my ear up against it.
God damn Samsung why did you sell your Hard Drive business?
HGST 1TB Laptop drive for 2 years. Still going strong.
Some 1TB Seagate Barracuda hard drive
4-5 years maybe
It just works
>>51593955
Actually making good hardware for competitve prices doesn't pay off enough for Samsung. RIP in peace.
120gb Sammy 850 Evo, 1 year, still dank. Wish it was bigger though.
320gb WD blue, four years, still fine for a slave drive
1TB WD Caviar external, eight years, still kicking but I do have everything on it backed up to cloiud storage.
When I eventually replace this laptop I want to set up with at least a 500gb SSD and 1TB slave. I have a feeling that local storage will cease to be of any concern by the time the next laptop is elderly
>1) you're hard drive

1) APPLE HDD HTS547550A9E384 Media
2) Three years and a month
3) No. It makes a weird noise (sudden motion sensor?) when tilted fast enough. And it's 3 years old.
I want to either upgrade my RAM (4GB right now) and/or HDD to at least 8GB and an SSD, or just get a new machine outright.
>6TB WD Red Pro (~12 months)
Literally the best storage HDD I've ever had

Returned it because of the god awful spindle noise and it being slower than the WD Red
>4TB Toshiba (~1 week)
Also returned it because of spindle noise and running at 50 degrees idling

I still use this to store my games in. It's not as fast as you might think, it's even slower than my other 7200rpm drives

Same story, mostly used to store the rest of my Steam library that I stopped playing
>4TB WD Blue Hybrid (NA)
Just purchased one, will see how it fares against the Seagate
>2TB WD Black (~2 years)
Were former scratch disks running in RAID0, now sitting on a shelf collecting dust. Also loud, but not as loud as the 4TB version for some reason.
>2TB Hitachi (2 years)
Got these on sale for a 2-pack bundle. They're still showing 0 bad sectors, but I haven't really used them for anything but storing videos.
>2TB Seagate (2 years)
I actually bought 6 of these in a span of two years and only 2 are still working today.
>Samsung Spinpoint F3 500 GB
I don't remember when I got it. The model was first sold in 2009. It has 35054 "Power_On_Hours", which is about four years. It was moved from my previous build to my current one about three years ago. In the last build it was used with an older Samsung drive which has since failed. In this one it's used for my home directory, with the rest of the filesystem on an SSD.
Pretty happy with it. I bought it because it was supposed to be quieter than comparable drives at the time, and it is very quiet. If it died today I would say that it had a reasonable lifespan, but it's not showing any signs of wear.
