Samsung 2TB

2TB is the OS and hardware limit.

Get a different OS and some new hardware. Problem solved.

If I could feasibly do so I would. :smurfin:

By the end of Q4, 3TB drives and maybe even 4TB drives will be available, so the chances that 2TB will go down to 100$ are pretty good.

Seagate 2TB 5900 RPM drive is $110 now, but that drive has an awful reputation.

They were $99 two weeks ago. I bought a couple at that price.

How many of them do you have and how many function properly? :alb:

That's because as they get cheaper and cheaper more and more inept people buy them. Inept people are clueless and write brilliant reviews commenting on things like SMART parameters they don't understand.

1, and 1 in my possession. My Dad has one that still works as well.

The SMART data can be confusing since the manufacturers are not consistent. I trust a full scan and 100% write then read write cycle more. :cyclop:

Microcenter has these for $119.99 in store (limit 1).

They are $99 now. Interesting.

I have five of the Samsungs now. One of them had data on it, but was hidden by a printout and never installed. :bsmurf: I need to find a usage for it.
