I've heard this rumor from everywhere, that the Deskstar drives were unreliable. If you look at the reviews from NewEgg they were TERRIBLE for that product. But I'm completely suspicious of where that reputation came from, because the statistics just don't bear it out. Often "common wisdom" is wrong - I suspect this is one of those cases.
- pixl97 13y agoIn 2000-2001 I was an admin for a day trading firm managing around 80 computers and servers. The drives worked great. They were really fast right up till the moment of their clicking death. At around 6 months around 15 out of 30 had it occur.
