A UK Data recovery service has this remark "Please note that all modern hard disk drives are manufactured to very high standards, fail infrequently and have very similar rates of reliability."

The ONLY HDD I have not had fail is Seagate so... that is where I am staying

HDD is dead Thats what the shop tells me

I too have a dead Seagate 160 Gig hard drive. Came out of my other Desktop. I put this in a enclosure and it was running on a computer which was not mine. USB I/O. Died during use there.

At this time I am not game to put another hard drive in the same enclosure as it may be the enclosure that fried it. I have a few 2.1 gig drives one of which I could use to test.

I know the drive itself is fried as I took the drive out of the enclosure and connected to my current PC via the ATA cable.

Not that I am against Seagate and if I bought another hard drive tomorrow then I would be wanting a Seagate.
