Dodgy Hard Drives
Discussion
Has anyone else had HDs fail from a big online seller... the one that begins with A....
A year ago I bought a 1TB Seagate Skyhawk drive that has just failed about 4/5 days ago. I bought exactly the same drive from the same place and its dead after 2 days. I suspect that either the bearing has gone on there is an issue with the head and when its running it sounds like when you get a stone stuck in your car disc brake.
The second drive appears to have been well over a year old as on the NVR config page it said 484 days up time.
Just put in a WD purple drive so hopefully that will last and shows up as 0 days old on the config.
Just me? Unlucky?
