| 1239987 | 2011-10-26 03:13:00 | Always advice about backing up hard drives for data, but maybe not for hard drives themselves, unless they have an alternative manufacturing facility or can contract out. | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||

| 1239989 | 2011-10-26 03:45:00 | Yea looks like 500GB HDDs have gone up about $30 already from the distributors. 1TB about $50. |

| 1239991 | 2011-10-26 03:54:00 | I didn't know Toshiba made their own HDDs. I thought they just used crap Hitachi drives.... | johcar (6283) | ||
| 1239992 | 2011-10-26 03:54:00 | Toshiba actually make a ton of drives, they are like gorse bushes, popping up everywhere. The ones in Adata enclosures I've seen have a 3 year warranty too. | wratterus (105) | ||
| 1239993 | 2011-10-26 03:56:00 | The only drives that have failed on me in the last ten years have been Hitachi drives inside Toshiba lappies.... Replaced immediately with Seagate drives and never another problem. | johcar (6283) | ||
