AGH...
bought it on Ebuyer, for little above £100
it made me a happy as I had only 1 gb left on the 80 GB HDD...
the first night which was Saturday... I transferred ~ 40GB worth of films and other DL stuff on it... as I was too lazy to spend a day burning onto CD's
and...
TICK< TICK < TICK...
the HDD crapped out on me :o :cry:
The TICK OF DEATH, or is it ticking... aaaahhhhh
(now I know how that sounds too :lol: :rw: )
and all the 40 GB that I transferred is GONE... I think I will try copy instead of cut when I transger lot of data next time around on new or actually (any) hard disks... and my 80 GB WD HDD is half empty now... which is not too bad :) , but all the stuff is GONE... AAAAH
now transferring all the data just like that was risky but I haven't heard about those drives being unreliable and unluckily I stepped on the bad one...
Here we go now I will find out how good is Ebuyer RMA system... and I have not heard great things about it so far :scarey:
doh... just to share the dissapointment with someone... I asked for a refund and will probably go with a 120 gb seagate HDD now (about 30£ sheaper as well) but I am in no hurry it will take some time to fill in those "now empty" 40 gb... I guess it could have been worse - if the thing died in a year time just as warranty run out with 80 gb+ of data on in :bleh:
