Underside hard drive coolers bad for hard drives by
Frustrated
Now....I just remembered something. A while ago, I had a problem with
my WD hard drive. I sent in for RMA. No problem with that.
Now, I have to also send in my Seagate HD as well due to many allocated
bad sectors.
What seems to be the common link between these two drives is that I used

DemonTraitor
Hi
I am running Windows 7 RC.
I have a server which has a 70gb HD for the OS, and two 500gb disks

Thank you.

GreenXenon

There are so many ads for softwares that claim to completely erase
your HDD. Don't listen to them.

Unusual drive failure - 12v line short by
Mike Tomlinson
I have a PVR thingywotsit on my TV. Today it died, no power. Listen to
PSU - tick, tick, tick. Ah, thought I, bad caps.
But no, the cause was the hard disk - the 12v line was completely short.
I've not seen this mode of failure of a hard drive before now; has
anyone else?

3753 RPM for old PC/AT 20MB MFM hard drive by
Franc Zabkar
I was looking at the specs for the 20MB MFM hard drive in the original
IBM PC/AT. The Tech Manual states that the rotational speed was 3573
RPM +/- 0.5%. The motor is a 3-phase DC type. I'm wondering why 3573
RPM and not 3600 RPM?

Restore A Quick Formatted Drive In Windows? Also Cost Of IDE RAID by

I need a program that functions like HDD Regenerator, eg: to restore a
quick formatted partition. DOS and HDD Regenerator won't work with a
usb to ide disk adapter. GetDataBack and the like only want to restore

What's a good operating temperature for hard disks? by
Yousuf Khan
Well, decided to set the alert temperatures on my HD Sentinel configs.
By default HDS has the green setting set to 40C or less, yellow is
between 40-50C, while red is above 50. I'm thinking these are
conservative. My internal drives typically operate just below or just
above 40C, even while...
