That Seagate hdd was new I think it happened in 2009 it failed twice(replaced twice in a gap of 2 months). I lost all the files on it (lost all the files twice too), Of course it's not caused by a virus. It's a hardware problem. I tried to save my files but it's really freakin slow, so I had re-downloaded them again after I got a replacement.

Stole the words right out of my keyboard.
kamiux - do your research, man. Don't just get the cheapest stuff - look at reviews and see how reliable the stuff you're getting is. Never get anything averaging under four eggs on Newegg, and if you ever do get anything averaging four eggs, be sure to comb the reviews thoroughly.

seagates under 500gb still is pretty durable tho =P or maybe anything under 500gb is durable XD

I have a seagate portable hard drive, its 1TB, covered in scratches from all the places I've taken it with me and still works brand new.
One trip with a CD not in a case in my backpack... and you know the rest.

can't wait for SDs to replace CDs, pros would be capacity, physical size, durability and ease of usage. cons would be price... and thats it, lol.
by replace i mean medias being sold in SDs instead of CDs.
