Reminds me of death of IBM 10GB drive (that came w/ Dell Inspiron 5000k) ... just after three years of warranty period of my laptop. :( > What HDD brands/models/manufacturers would you recommend?

It has been amazingly much quieter in comparison. My usage consist mainly of writing/searching/reading files -- fetching email, (de)compression of ~2.5GB mbox, various log files. - Parv --
