1127933 2010-08-15 10:20:00 This NEC PowerMate MT 7102 K killed 3 HDDs (all Seagates) in 2 years! Does it suggest that there's some other problems with the PC? bk T (215)
1127934 2010-08-15 10:23:00 Not always -- Couple of years ago I had 3 HDD's fail within a Year on this PC.

What type of disk failures; was there a common thread? Could be power quality issues perhaps, though bad luck is more like it. :(

1127937 2010-08-15 12:03:00 What was the failure mode of the drives? Agent_24 (57)
1127938 2010-08-15 21:27:00 Thats too much of a coincidence for me, Id say power issue 1st, then board, then HDD.
Any excuse for a new PC....I cant even find NEC PowerMate MT 7102 on google!!

1127939 2010-08-16 07:48:00 also can be poor air flow. heat can kill HD fairly quick. tweak'e (69)

It's an old PC. It should be in the NEC site.
