Hard Drive
This does not fill me with confidence, but we will see how my Seagate fares…
I just bought one of those 80 GB Seagate drives myself. However, I’ve been having problems
with it not wanting to run 100% of the time. I leave my computer on always, and every few
days or so, I’ll wake it up from sleep and the system will hang. Reboot, and the 80 gigger
is gone. Leave the machine offf for fifteen minutes or so, reboot, and they come back.Needless to say, it made me very nervous the first time it happened. Of course, my
situation could be different because:a) it could be just a bug with my drive (doubtful)
b) i’m running an ATA100 card to which is connected, which could have a bug with drives
that size (doubtful)
c) i’m running Mac OS X (doubtful)
d) i’ve got bad ventilation to the drive, so it may be overheating at regular intervals
(best guess)Advice? Make sure it gets good ventilation. Or turn off your machine every few days and
let it sit overnite.
