Mine is a western digital 80gig that I bought in 2001-2002 I think. Still going strong although it is only used as a backup drive for my docs now, maybe not so bright... :dogeye: |

If it's still going 10 years later it will probably last a while longer. Generally if they have problems they'll die in the first year. |

That's good news! I think I was feel like I had lost a child if it died, given I was all of 13 at the time of buying it |

Must have cost a fair bit at the time. |

It was my first computer that I bought myself, I was karting at the time and sold it to fund the build. Kinda stupid now that I think back |

I've got an old WD 80GB drive. Never failed me. |

I had a 1GB drive that worked perfectly fine sometime back (so must have been pretty old). Only threw it out because I had no use for it. :p |

Friday last I had to take some home movies off a hard drive as the owners had just updated and didnt know how to move their files to their new pc. It was an old HP running a PII 433MHz 64Mb Ram and a 6Gb HDD running Win 98. Booted it up, was still running strong. Oldest thing I've worked on for many years. It was a bit of fun to work on a Win98 box again, makes me appreciate just how far we have come since then.
40Gb HDD's with XP are still common in the workplace but they dont do a lot of work really and are generally large enough in most (office) work places. |
