My hardrive is running in a jar of ketchup. Hasn't failed since 1958. Although "working" had a different meaning back then when it came to computers.

Daemon Tools, Alchool 120% sucks :/ Why have a burned copy of the image when you can:

1)just copy the files and paste on another CD=100% copy.
2)mount the .iso, always have them mounted for the videos etc.

#2 wins everytime..

#2 fails when your harddrive crashes, so I would do #1 anyway, but use #2 normally.


How dumb can you be to buy a HDD that acually fails/crashes LOL?
(Not saying you specifically, but to anyone that, that does happen to).

All hard drives will fail at some point. How dumb do you have to be to not realize that? Oh, trooprm02 dumb.

QFT
It is a given that a harddrive will eventually fail. The question is when... Sometimes it is within a year, and sometimes a harddrive can live like decades.

Indeed, I had a WD that lived just under six years under really heavy use. It went out with a puff of smoke...

Ok g33k. Um, how long do they last? Long enough before its time to switch to a new comp anyway. By the right one, and there will never be a problem. Top of the line comps last about 4 years, who buys a HDD that doesn't last 4 years? Your supposed to look shit up before buying one, you dont, its your own fault.

Dumb fag, some people don't waste their money on buying a completely new computer, but upgrade things like motherboard, CPU memory videocard, and perhaps case/powersupply.
I have harddrives here that are somewhere between 8 and 12 years old, in a system which average age is about 3 years. Works fine really.
True harddrives are a bit slow, but that's not a problem as it is only used to serve some webpages etc.

Also, I have had serveral harddrives fail within 1 year, which where replaced under warranty, but still, data is still lost. Oh btw, it where your great WD branded disks...

Edit:
Oh, another thing, our server runs on 6 to 8 year old SCSI harddrives, which are still faster then most modernday hardrives you'll find in your computer. (Not counting Raptors, or newer SCSI/SAS disks)

Also not counting some seriously fast RAID 0'd Samsung solid state disks, I take it? Razz (Those are fast, bloody expensive though, well over £300 for just 64 GB)
