Just Ordered my new PC do you think its a decent pc :)
Everyone has bad batches, have not heard of any bad things about the drives so far, just that they are fast and quiet, fingers crossed On Sun, 27 Jun 2004 03:59:45 GMT, "Canus_Lupis" wrote: "As for the Hitachi HDD... as long as its decent spec and has a min 3 year warranty.. who cares ?? most parts are from the same manufacturers anyway..." IBM developed such a bad rep for their hard drives that they sold the hard drive side of their business to Hitachi. This is why Hitachi can call their drives Travelstar and Deskstar. You still wouldn`t want to own one though. |

Everyone has bad batches, have not heard of any bad things about the drives so far, just that they are fast and quiet, fingers crossed In all fairness I know very little about the Deskstar hard drives but in Laptop Land, the Travelstars are pathetic. The damned things grow bad sectors like your garden grows weeds. The reason I know little about the Deskstars is because the guys that work in my favourite computer spare parts store warned me off IBM drives quite some time ago and they are in the best position to know what parts are returned more than normal. It could be true that everyone has bad batches and I will not dispute this, but not year after year. For what it`s worth, I get a great run out of Seagate drives. |
