Are hard drives there still higher than #*@$?

About the same price as anywhere else. I picked up a Western Digital Green 2TB drive for $129 a couple weeks ago. I almost ordered through newegg but it was the same price.Originally posted by IHaveAMustang View PostComment

Yeah, I found a guy who sold me (2) WD 1TB Green for $60 and they are brand new. I tried to find a Caviar Black and might as well just have asked to be face raped.Comment

Yes. Also needed to replace all drives in data centers if possible, if for nothing else - their reliability.Originally posted by 5.0_CJ View PostOriginally posted by MR EDDComment

Xiotech (or XIO) has started making they ISE SANs in a hybrid format, where the first couple of drives are SSD, and the rest are traditional HDDs. They are incredibly fast.Comment

Funny, 2 SSDs (from different manufacturers) I bought with Sandforce controllers died\bricked within a few months..... I have yet to have a serious problem with any HDD I've ever purchased.Originally posted by ceyko View Post

It's been a problem I've seen a lot of, one of the primary reasons I still haven't switched over. The OCZ's have had a bad rep for failures.Originally posted by Gargamel View Post"When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

I haven't had a problem with my 128 GB Cruical SSD.Comment

Crucial SSD's FTW!Comment

I don't think Crucial uses Sandforce controllers, although I could be wrong about the most current drives as I haven't looked at them in a while.Originally posted by aCid View Post
Stay away from Sandforce based drives my friends....Comment

My intel ssd has worked flawlessly for a good year and a half so farComment

SSDs do fail. The business class ones are so expensive because they have 100% redundancy in the chips on the board (ie. a 256g drive has 512g of storage and as chips go bad the data is automigrated to the other chips).
That said, I can't use a computer without an SSD any more. It makes an incredible amount of differenceComment
