HD Issue

[KB_1]

I have my custom built pc for over 4 years now but unfortunately, my hard drive is going bad with bad sectors, making the system freeze and restart for the past couple months. It's a seagate barracuda drive and i've used their drive tool as well as Windows bad sector and disk check and they only worked temporary as now it's not even starting up. How long is a hard drive to last because this is rubbish. I'm going to have to get a new one - what brand do you recommend and about how much I can get it for out here. I would like another 750gb drive.

Back Up your data and Install a new one ASAP. It could go any minute. Brand I would recommend are Western Digital and Samsung (if you can find it).

Backup the data then destroy the drive, burn it with acid or kerosene or drive over it with a tractor then burn it again. Get a server grade Western Digital and keep backups. Hard Drives give out when they're ready. I had one for two months die one me and another that's going strong for twelve years, same brand.
