Technology: Crash!

_{Posted by Todd at 1:48 AM - Sunday, January 16, 2005}

This is turning into an annual event...

I just had another hard disk crash. This time, it's that new 80GB drive I put into my main desktop machine, dying after only two months of usage. It's definitely a heat problem; I can power the drive down for a while and access data from it later, until it gets too hot again and brings down the system. What a pain; hopefully I can just take it into PC Place and get a replacement and let them deal with the manufacturer.

This disk is a Samsung product. Their diagnostic tool needs a lot of work; it doesn't seem to like the fact that my main (working) drive is a Maxtor and refuses to do any diagnostics. Lovely. Maxtor's diagnostic tools don't have this problem; why should Samsung's?

I've gone through about five disk drives in the past three years; fortunately, I have been able to replace all of them under warranty.

They don't make 'em like they used to.

Would adding an extra case fan help? Keep in mind that I almost certainly have no fricken idea what I'm talking about.

oh man do you ever update this site?... *G*

wait, that sounded somewhat passive agressive...

lets try again...

you know, you can press that little button and do something called posting... we can work through it together, now click... yes right there...

that sounds kind of condescending...

Update your site, I'm anxious to find out what you've been up to and to read some new things!
