The Bitching Thread

Looks like my 1TB external hard drive is dying. Doesn't make many sounds and appears to be working fine, but randomly stops a few select files when I watch them off it, especially the recently downloaded ones. Downloading is never a problem. Most of the files are easily downloadable(tv series and anime), I doubt I'll bother copying it to another drive, not to mention I don't have space for it anywhere. Sometimes it starts making sounds, but just restarting it removes the problem. 200Gb left of space on it. Bought it two and a half years ago or something. Still sad though.

What brand is it? I've been looking into a 1TB external drive myself, and the reviews for MyBooks seems to be split 50/50 between ultra-reliability and uber-fail. Wondered what your make was?

It was a Fantom Drives Gforce Megadisk. It has worked great up to now. It wasn't as bad as I thought, it still works now.. just randomly disconnecting, which is extremely annoying.
