What I saw made me furious! My boot disk had 1 bad sector!!! The disk was just 1 year old&#8230;a Western Digital 120GB JB model. What&#8217;s going on with Western Digital ? They keep making one crappy disk after the other. More than 4 200Gb JB models I have owned for the past 1-2 years have crashed. Now this 120GB&#8230;I was more than cautious with this machine because it&#8217;s the machine I use for project development. It&#8217;s on a UPS&#8230;it has seperate hard disk fans&#8230;so what went wrong ? I can&#8217;t get it&#8230;.<br \/>\nLuckilly I had a spare 120GB without any data on it. I booted my slackware and did a dd_rescue from the disk with the bad sector to the other. It took around 10..maybe more hours&#8230;but now I am working on the &#8220;spare&#8221; disk (that I have double checked it for bad sectors) and all look fine.<\/p>\n<p>I am not going to buy another Westerd Digital disk&#8230;I am not even sure I want to send the disk back to the company to send me another for refund (warranty is for 3 years&#8230;so I can send it back anytime I want). I think I might sell the new one that they will send me to someone while it&#8217;s inside the company&#8217;s packaging and buy another disk from another brand.  But what should I buy ? Maxtor disks go toooo hot when used for a long time (I have hard disk fans&#8230;but how secure would you feel ?), Seagate disks are rumored to be very good (as far as stability is concerned) but they are a lot slower than all others. I am willing to hear\/view any suggestions as comments&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Waiting for the next problem to appear. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday morning I did a chkdsk on my pc at home just to make sure all was ok&#8230;just in case.
