All hard drives die, and I dislike when I see people cast blame on a particular manufacturer. I say, buy a HD with best specs for the best price. :) There are some "early warning" features on some HDs with SMART ability I think is one. I was wondering, has anyone got any use of these features under Linux (or windows for that matter)?
Not yet, but I see that redhat 7.3 has a SMART daemon starting at boot. I haven't looked into it yet, but I have enabled SMART on the drives. I use Seagate drives btw; had no problems with them at all :-) Regards, John. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ John Horne, University of Plymouth, UK Tel: +44 (0)1752 233914 E-mail: jhorne@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx PGP key available from public key servers -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
