I would certainly agree to this. My toshiba 250 GB just died on me a month after I bought it! And the bad thing is, they dont want to replace because they says they dont replace accesorries.TOSHIBA SUCKS!!!

I bought a toshiba a year ago this month. It worked great untill month 4, then it would boot up, but the screen would not turn on. Now like i said this month will be one year i took very very good care of this comp beacuse i thought it would last at least 4 years for me, but i was wrong, the hard drive has failed after only a year my warrenty ran out about oh 20 days ago. This is not ok, when i spend 1500$ on a product i expect more then a year out of it, i could have bought a shit used car for this much. I called them, they were happy to help for the low price of $49.95, and i also called micro when i thought it was a op system and they also told me to F*** off. I will do everything i can to keep people from wasting money on this crap, i am more the upset about this, and will be ever more upset once i find out how much it will be to fix…..horrible go with a cheap 400$ comp from walmart before toshiba

I prefer Hitachi 2.5″ drives, they are the first to make 7500 RPM 2.5″ drives as well, excellent for operating systems…

Western Digital is my choice since 9 years
with all the heavy work on my PC 24/7 they’re still like i just bought them!
No bad clusters, no power failure, no noise
I’ve now 320GB, 250GB, 160GB and i’m intending to buy the 1TB (WD10EACS) or (WD1000FYPS if found), this month cuz 160GB is going to be retired! :)
SIMPLY.. WD IS PERFECT!

I’ve got 2 that are 4 years old and nothing happened to them. One 80 the other 120GB. The problem with Hawalli is that you don’t even know the source of all their hardware are they genuine or not, most of the stuff are also stored very badly which would result in an early hardware failure.

I would go for Hitachi/WD HardDisks, but I know that Hawalli is so cheap-assed that they’ll just ignore these brands.

I agree, softisland gives me good deals too…

I dunno about toshiba hdd’s but I’ve seen Maxtor hdd’s(especially the terrabyte hdds) crashing like crazy. I use Western Digital and I think they are the best. I’ve been using them forever, even as a raid array and they work perfect.
