Another Harddisk bytes the dust.

My 160gig, with 1/2 my music collection, just died under my nose..
If I stack up all the dead harddisks, I could build a stairways to heaven.

Q

not listening to: Stairways to heaven. (on account of dead hdd.)

Edit: It seems my 250 gig is actually the one causing the problems. after a reboot they are both back up, but the 250gig in a terrible state:
1 Raw_Read_Error_Rate 0x000f 104 087 006 Pre-fail Always – 40908097
7 Seek_Error_Rate 0x000f 086 060 030 Pre-fail Always – 462111709
195 Hardware_ECC_Recovered 0x001a 068 055 000 Old_age Always – 175232423

    Maxtor. I won’t buy them anymore, this isn’t the first one.

    I been having issues with Western Digital myself. I bought two against my better judgment based on reviews at newegg.com. I’ll be sticking with seagate myself after I replace the two in this computer. Can’t beat the 5 year warranty on seagate either.
