Sup /g/ poor fag here.
i just bought pic related for 17$, here is the spec's www.cnet.com/products/toshiba-mk1255gsx-hard-drive-120-gb-sata-3gb-s/specs/
What do you think? does it perform better than a 500GB Seagate (witch died on my lenovo laptop after only 5 years) ?

dude your laptop mechanical hd died after only five years of constant use/ startups and shutdowns and you moving it all over the place while it was spinning up.
>>58837677
yes that desiccate packet is much larger than the ones seagate uses, your drive will be much fresher for longer.

i wont lie, i opened it. the head was stock on the disc, in writing position after a failed shutdown.
After only 5 days of opening it, it started getting corrupt.

Did you just say you opened up a drive and then actually used it for another 5 days?
Did you back up the data at all during that 5 days?

Did you build a cleanroom in your basement? No? You got dust all over the platters.
