Hard Drive I/O error

<< < (4/4)

Exactly right. Dell led the wave of ultracheap walmart-quality computers in the early 2000s. Consumers lapped them up and it's gone downhill ever since.

I sincerely missed the days when Dell towers were still heavy, beige, mid-sized towers. They costed more but they were decent quality and their support rocked.

I have a drive with two I/O errors. They happened twice at about the same time, then never again. Also, I have the same mainboard as Ace has, but the error's occurred on an older (700 series chip set) motherboard. This mother board acts up some times during post. I have no clue why (no over clocking).

AceHigh:
You fixed it?

nstgc:
The I/O error? It stopped on its own. I did replace the cable, as a precaution, but ultimately it was only those two instances. I believe that SMART entry is a count, as opposed to a rate, so unless it keeps going up I would just ignore it.
