Haha Fireballs... ive still got 2 that work... They are AWESOME
I have an old fireball being used as a paperweight arond here somewere... resilient old thing though, still works.
I'm not loyal to any company (for HDDs anyways).
I've never had a drive fail on me.
I remember for my 3rd computer, my mother went over the top and splurged for a 80GB HDD, then my next had 80GB, then the next had 80GB (2005), then the next had 80GB (2007), then I finally got a 250gb (2007) and finally got a 1tb (2009). Only until I got the 250GB did I finally start filling the HDD anyways.
Though my first comp (not actually mine, but whatever), didn't have a 1gig... but my mother kept using that beast for 5 years (just for taxes).
I current use 2 seagates and 1 WD, and all are just running fine.
I have 3-4 HDDs laying around atm, and 3 more inside my comp...
