Hard Drive Failure
11 years ago
The footer is the truth.
It seems that my hard drive is beginning to fail. I have found at least 30 bad sectors on it before the test program blurted out "Too many bad sectors" and basically said it's irreparable. I found out that SMART data on Western Digitals is useless because it tells you everything is perfectly safe and fine and oh you're drive is in perfect health! When it's obviously not. It's got the same exact damn info I had a year ago which means it's obviously just a lie.
Oddly, my D Drive, which is also the same age, same usage, same online time. Has not one single bad sector, it's in perfect health. It's actually kind of more used since it's my steam games drive, back up drive, and fraps recording drive. I don't really understand why one drive randomly starts appearing with bad sectors and the other is perfectly healthy when both are used the same amount, or the healthy one is used more heavily, and both have an average online time of 23.95 hours per day over the last 2 years and 2 months. AKA, 18,953.43 hours if my math is right.
This is my current hard drive;

This is a hard drive I was hoping to get;

This should fit in my laptop, right? They both say 9.5mm height, 100.30mm width, 69.85mm length.
