1 TB hard drive

LG and Sony don't make hard disks.

Sony makes, in holland they have hard disks from Sony wich hold some more than 1 TB

they arent Sony. If anything they're made by another company and Sony just sticks their badge on them. Whether the disk is any good or not depends on who actually made it (the OEM).

but they ARE from Sony, you can see it somewhere...

oh, and if you can pull the label off the product, they are fake, but i probably done that, but it was not going off. and it was from steel.

Sony does not make hard disks. For that matter Apple don't make iphones. They are made by a different company (called an OEM) and the company that you believe made it merely puts their name on it. The iphone OEM is Foxconn.

Replying to #125

yes, they are cheaper than Seagate.

i have a AlienWare PC, thats from DELL... very good at games, but it WAS good at games, that thing is more then 15 years old! :P

alienware were only recently aquired by dell.

oh, by the way, im using a verrrrrry old ver. my dad want to buy one too, but now i must swap.... (lovely PC (sometimes it is damn PC too, likely with the sims 2 freetime it crashes all time, cant build a house in 2 hours or it crashes))

from my business study back then, i been told that its a common practise for large business to buy product from smaller business and put thier brand on that product.

LoonylionNot anymore, they've gone to hell (drives suddenly 'dying', no actual data loss but the data is completely and permanently inaccessible). Firmware problems that they have yet to produce a fix for, and in some cases wont even acknowledge. I use Samsung now.

I'm glad mine hasn't done that >_<

the one we have holds only some films we never watch XD, and 1 game: the sims 2 but it does not :'( i want to have that thing because the laptop i get does not have above the 100GB... and i really need 100GB...

It was first detected shortly after they released their 1.5TB hard disks, and has been known to affect 1TB and 750GB disks too, and I assume also the 2TB though I havent been watching the situation. I believe anything below 500GB is safe, and also anything produced prior to the firmware introduced with the 1.5TB drives.

is 500GB safe too? (i have)

probably. If you got it before Seagate released their 1.5TB drives, then yes.

what is the best harddrives for the price: external? sata?

its not about price, its about reliability. Samsung and Hitachi are the most reliable at this time. WD are pretty good. As it happens, Samsung 1TB drives are the cheapest 1TBs (internal).

... ok, what has the best reliability for its price?

Loonylion · #135probably. If you got it before Seagate released their 1.5TB drives, then yes.

i dont know... when was it released?

Okay cool; mine is only 320 GB.
