Since back in the 90s, having issues with Seagate and Maxtor drives, I switched to Western Digital and never looked back.
Why are modern hard drives failing at a greater rate than their older, better quality controlled, counterparts? Has anyone else been observing this situation? This drive is doomed for permanent failure SOON! However it NOW takes 5 Min to boot from a Reboot situation back to the Login screen. I managed, (after extensive time spent), to recover the Win 10 Partition and it became Bootable, again. In addition to this SSD, the computer repair place is going to extensively test the failing Laptop Drive, (which I managed to recover utilizing Win 10s Recovery and Repair Tools, AND these tools STRIPPED EVERY 3rd party Program from the Windows Installation), and IF possible will clone the drive to the SSD. Is this a push by the Tech Industry to steer us more into SSDs? Unfortunately, for the Lay Person, SSDs are STILL TOO expensive! However as my dad needs his Laptop for work, I turned him towards a Samsung 512 GB SSD which came to $248 + Tax. This was a Western Digital Black, 1TB Drive. three years old!Ĭombine these stats with MY recent Hard Drive failure of a drive that BARELY hit TWO years old. This is the SECOND hard drive failure in ONE week that my dad has suffered through! I don't know, yet, the manufacturer of the Laptop Hard Drive but, the HP Envy Desktop system had a Western Digital Blue. My dad just suffered ANOTHER computer failure due to a faulty drive! His ASUS Laptop, (NOT even three years old, yet), had a catastrophic failure and would NOT boot as of this morning. It seems to me in reflection that Hard Drives, (especially Western Digital), manufactured 10 years ago or longer had better quality and longer life expectancy than modern Hard Drives.
