Imogena 1 T.B Hard Drive

[FabDJ]

Hi all

Is it worth getting the Imogena H.D?

I think its the one that crashed on Cupe so wary of buying it for 79.00 on ebay.

If not, any other suggestions.

My recently purchased SanDisk 32g memory stick won't hold info,wants to reformat every time I plug it in, so its useless now

[Cupe]

It was a western digital that crashed on my. those mybook pieces of shit

[FabDJ]

Ta

I'll make a note on Western Digital.

[Cupe]

just check what sort of power supplies they have

mine died because it powers down if you're not using it then powers up when you want to access your files on it

i had all my music and shit on it streaming all the time. so the hdd might still work but the power supply is dead

i duno yet haven't checked into it

here's hoping but

USb has me buggered.

Did not work after a 200 song download from another computer and reformatted yesterday

Worked last night.

Did not work this morning and reformatted again

(only option allowed) One hour 30 mins each time.

When I shut down the laptop with usb plugged in and take it out and plug in before I start laptop up, works fine (3 times). Not game to use remove usb device on the working laptop as this may be the problem.

Any suggestions?

[Cupe]

i'd only think you can compare. get another one and see if it works. might just be a fucked usb

[FabDJ]

Dennis did say that over 16gig usb's are unstable and been told that by others also.

I'm thinking they might be right.

Will try another to see.

Thanks Cupe

here I can buy WD 1TB hdd's for $68.00 each

the 2TB hdd's are worth now $145.00

and prices will be dropping even more real soon

[pulsebeat]

yeh i have a WD 1 tb

my first one crashed

thank god it was still under a year old

AND

they were able to recover shit off it for me

3TB hard drives are now out too...

Fab,

I would right click on the external in 'my computer' go to properties...the go to hardware tab, then click on your external... then click properties, then select Polices..... change the tick boxes to "Optimise for quick removal"

That will give you the most stable profile you can possibly have... try that and see howyou go.

[DjDennis]

yeah and you rush out to get a 3tb hdd it crashes and is unstable

I think all these advances should be looked at first and then bought

I deal with all this on a daily basis and I know whats ordered - we have only gor 5x of any new drives till they have solid proof they wont crash

but hey you go do what you like

have a nice day
