If those are Seagate drives, it is very possible. I bought three of their
100G laptop drives last year. Two died within 6 months and the third is
getting flaky. A lot of people swear by Seagate but I've never had
anything but bad luck with them. About once every ten years I forget that,
buy a few, and am reminded once again why I so despise Seagate. Just
look at their diagnostics programs and you can see the lack of quality.
Western Digitals have been real good to me. I really like this 120G
Western Digital Scorpio laptop drive I got for $120 (retail model, I
don't like OEM drives because they're usually lacking cache memory).
It's whisper-quiet and runs cool compared to every other HD I've had in
this machine. It's quick, too. Only had it a few months but I have faith
it'll last forever because no Western Digital drive has ever failed on me. |
