Re: Best hard drives
Hmm, I keep seeing people in love with WD drives, but the one drive I've had fail in recent history (VERY recently) is a WD 500GB. You look it up and it says it has a 5 year warranty, but when I put in my s/n it says it's out of warranty. I've only had it for about 1.5 years. I need to call them to see WTH their problem is with the warranty.
And a couple of years ago I bought a Samsung 500GB drive that works well, EXCEPT as the primary recording drive. When it's the primary it just hiccups and goes into PIO mode, but if I copy recordings to it and just playback from it then the POS works fine.
So, I guess I'm down to Seagate or Hitachi.
