Deathstars...

I wouldn't buy Hitatchi, buy hey, it's as you wish...
Since the only drive that has ever failed on me was this one, I won't buy either. In the 90's they had a huge issue with their QC (IBM was the deskstar). I see so many people who buy them now that in wonder if they're ok. I still shy away from them.

@surley I.do.want!


Next purchase for me is a shop vac! :D #boytoysrock
 
No HDD brand is fail proof.

Yes, but there has been a massive fail rate in IBM Desktar Models (Hitatchi has bought the IBM hard drive division after). I know the problem won't appear again, and that the current Desktar only shares the name with the problematic one, but I prefer to stay away from Hitatchi drives. There are other brands, and they are priced similarly. I'm losing nothing here.
 
Iv'e had both good and bad luck with Hitachi, Seagate and WD. Currently installing the Seagate Momentus XT 500GB drive :D So far it's silent! All my Hitachi's have been clicking. Although last year I purchased a Seagate drive and it clicked very badly so..
 
i have four deskstars already for over a year and still going strong so i didnt want to all of a sudden change hdd brands if they have been good for me
 
No desire whatsoever for an iPad, actually, I'd never use it :p (Plus it's expensive, my Kindle was only $139; $39 after I sold my original Kindle!)

Exactly, it's expensive. But, worth it if you've got the monay :p

Going to watch this
