Re: [LUG] Hard drive problems

["Jonty Brook" <jonty@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Possibly your PSU is providing too much voltage to the Hard Drive? If you are on a laptop, do you bash it around a lot? I've got to say I have never heard of someone getting through 3 HDD's in a year. That does seem a little too much bad luck. A motherboard problem seems unlikely to cause HDD damage, but I guess it could do.

Don't think i've really helped, but I feel for you.

Hi
This may be a bit off topic, but I seem to be getting through a lot of hard drives recently (3 in the last year).  Could there be something wrong with
the motherboard, with the way I am using the machine or am I just unlucky.
Thanks for letting me get that off my chest and any forthcoming advice
