Warm if you go by the gigabyte/dollar ratio, almost hot because it's SATA II and Perp
- lol. The .10 version is just as "proven" as the .9 one. You don't think Segate stress tests these drives?Originally posted by: jloor
I will stick to older, proven technology just in case I need Data Recovery.

Yea just like the 7200.8 series was very proven to suck. The .9 and .10 series have inconclusive data.
Originally posted by: jcloseAnyone have a reputable, and hopefully rather inexpensive, data recovery outfit they like? I was getting quotes in the $1500 range for at 120GB drive.

If you are even remotely worried about data recovery costs then setup a RAID (redundant array of INEXPENSIVE drives, hey word there is INEXPENSIVE, the whole point is to mirror/array your data so you will never need a data recovery service)....
In my opinion data recovery is not a sign of hardware failure but a failure of whoever put the system together to where critical data is on one computer/server/drive...in many years of production/live-data support we have never needed data recovery, not because we've never had anything die, but we planned for failures...for those that don't...bummer, you deserve to lose data...
