On death and dying: reconciling yourself
to hard drive failure

On death and dying: reconciling yourself
to hard drive failure 03/14/2005 04:52 PM

Hard drive errors are never welcome. They are even less welcome when you haven't been doing regular backups. No matter how the problem manifests itself — random freezes, strange behavior, clicks, or grinds — the warning signs are there, if you have eyes to see and ears to hear. The key is how you react once your precious hard drive starts going south.

The computer reaches the grey screen with an Apple and a spinning wheel and sits there. After a few minutes, I look up from my darjeeling and bread with marmalade (I am not actually British) and the book I am reading, Robert Alter's new translation of the Pentateuch, in which I have just started Exodus (really). I see my computer not booting.

Uh oh, this is bad. Very bad.

This is the tale of one man's encounter with a dying hard drive, and his progression through the five stages of grief: denial, anger, depression, bargaining, and acceptance. In the best case scenario, the acceptance stage will be followed by restoring your backup onto your new hard drive. In the worst case... let's not talk about that.

Read on for a lesson in reconciling yourself to hard drive failure.

Neowin Review: Maxtor DiamondMax 10
250GB Hard Drive 03/28/2005 12:38 PM
After our very own Tom Graham reviewed some <a href="http://www.neowin.net/comments.php?id=27461&category=ma in" target="_Blank">portable</a> <a href="http://www.neowin.net/comments.php?id=27605&category=ma in" target="_Blank">hard</a> <a href="http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=296533" ; target="_Blank">drives</a>, today we'll have a look at a Desktop counterpart by Maxtor. The massive <b>250GB DiamondMax 10</b>. As large hard drives are becoming of an increased importance, we will also cover a small guide so you know what to look for when buying a new hard drive.
<ul>After plugging everything in, the drive was visible to my onboard Promise RAID/SATA Interface controller&#8217;s BIOS. In here, you can setup the &#8220;bootability&#8221; of drives and decide whether you want your hard drives to work in a RAID environment or simply to work alone; I decided to skip the RAID options and work alone. Maxtor offer a setup of tools to help you format the drive; MaxBlast, a piece of hard drive management software for Windows by Maxtor, for Maxtor drives.

The first thing you may notice, or not, is the noise level of the hard drive while in operation &#8211; it is, to say the least, very quiet. I found noise only noticeable whilst doing sustained file transfers between itself and my DiamondMax 9. I felt the drive was probably about twice as quiet as the DiamondMax 9; serious credit to Maxtor&#8217;s &#8220;Quiet Drive&#8221; technology, the Fluid Dynamic Bearings, and the fact that the spindle runs at 7,200 RPM (Western Digital has a line of hard drives running at a noisy 10K RPM).</ul>
Will this massive drive keep up to par with the other drives available? Namely the 10K RPM Western Digital Raptor drives? On to the review...

In the <a href="http://www.neowin.net/comments.php?id=27461&category=ma in&highlight=">second part</a> of our look at some of the portable gear Seagate are offering currently, we've taken a look at the company's smaller option for users : a 5 GB, pocket hard drive.
<ul>"USB: it's everywhere. Like a plague amongst motherboard designers, the USB socket has become ubiquitous with the modern day computer. Asides from devices like printers and mice, USB devices range from the quirky to the rather useful. Arguably one of the most useful groups of devices on the market today is the portable USB drive.

High speed, reliable and small, they've virtually killed the floppy disk drive giving computer users a better way to store and transfer their files. In a world of bulging PowerPoint presentations and growing media libraries, the question of storage on the go is one that has hit most of us. Perhaps, we've found an answer."</ul>
After the initial amazement that they could pack in 5 GB's worth of hard drive into such a small space, we looked deeper into an exceptionally well designed portable device. For the full review, follow the link below.

Seagate Tries to Block Import of Cornice
Hard Drive Devices 07/05/2004 09:28 AM

Last week, both Seagate and Western Digital sued hard drive newcomer Cornice in separate patent-infringement lawsuits. So besides that welcome wagon, Seagate has now asked the US International Trade Commission to ban the importation of any device that uses one of Cornice's 1-inch hard drives, which brings me to why you care. If the USITC goes for it, MP3 players from Aiwa, iRiver, Element, Agere, Rio, and RCA -- and that's just the short list -- could be illegal to import under the injunction. That takes the lawsuit from boring, insider sniping to slightly-less-boring and irritating, and well, I thought you should know.

Also, it must be frustrating for a new company, without years of links to cloud the Google waters, to return as the search results of its name two links to its website and a third to a news story about a lawsuit against them.

Neowin Review : Seagate 100Gb USB 2.0
Portable Hard Drive 03/14/2005 06:26 PM
Harddrives : a critical part of any personal computer. They store our personal data, files, operating systems and much more. Over the last decade, the industry has gone through some major changes both in terms of the hardware and the companies involved.

Seagate is one of an increasingly small number of harddrive vendors to stick through tough times and keep on producing good gear. Founded in 1979, the company stayed at the forefront of the industry making the first 5.25" harddrive, the first 7,200 RPM diskdrive, and the first fiber channel interface disk drive.

<strong>Today, we're looking at a portable harddrive from Seagate</strong>. It's basically a small (2.5") harddrive packed inside a strong shell with a high speed, USB 2 adaptor on rear; it's also got a bright blue LED light for good measure. Seagate offer two version of the drive; a 40gig version and a 100gig version - we looked at the 100gig version. Read on the review!

Seagate Believes In Self, Ups Hard Disk
Warranties to Five Years

Seagate Believes In Self, Ups Hard Disk
Warranties to Five Years 07/27/2004 09:21 AM

Unless you consider hard drives to be disposable (not a bad policy, given current failure rates), you'll probably be interested in hearing that hard drive manufacturer Seagate has upped to warranty period for all of its consumer hard drives to five years. Over the last couple of years, most major hard disk manufacturers had quietly changed their warranty period to one year (most were at a three year warranty before that), in spite of (or because of) an increasingly poor record of drive life-cycles. It has since become almost a joke to presume that any hard drive will last longer than a couple of years without failure; an interesting proposition, considering that the average computer user still keeps all of their data on a single drive.

Of course, just because a drive has a five year warranty doesn't mean the drive will last that long. You should still back up like a good Computer Scout. But in the worst case, at least you'll be able to get a replacement drive while you're tearing up over years of lost pornography.
