Problem:
I tried to transfer a file of about 1 GB across my network from my Seagate 1TB Internal but the computer showed Cyclic Redundancy Error . I had only encountered when I used CDs and DVDs a year back.It usually meant bad memory module which has to be replaced!
But (and that's a big but) replace the CDs with a 1 TB Seagate HD Internal which has 697GB worth of data and what you have is an utter fiasco (for ur pocket and brain and time)!!
Steps that I took:
First off Googled it.Found that I need to replace the hard disk
Second went to My Computer and did a right click on the said drive and started a error checking process.....3 hrs later I can transfer the data successfully.
But lets face it my data is facing oblivion unless I back it up.
What I want:
>any other options i have???
>is to know which is better on terms of reliability - Seagate or Western Digital, Internal or External*??
>1TB or 500 GB??
> a performance chart of hard drives if possible??
My sys config:
Pentium Dual Core CPU E5300 @ 2.60 GHz
1 GB of RAM
XP Professional SP2
ASUS P5 KPLAM/PS
Harddrives (internal)> WD caviar blue 160GB, Seagate 1TB
Any more of help is really appreciated!!! And thank u very very much.And try to make this ASAP. Thanks again...
