Hello,
I have a home network set up with 2 laptops and 1 desktop all running WinXP Pro. The desktop acts as a server and shares over 100GBs of media files such as music, photos, videos, thinks of that sort towards my laptops. The hard disk is a Western Digital 200GB. Its was bought around 2004. As more and more data becomes stored on that drive, the more I become nervous. I have no back up of the drive and I seriously need to consider it. How long do these drives last? Any experiences? I would like to hear some. It would be wise to purchase a brand new Seagate or no?

Well, if a mod comes around. Please move this to hardware. My apologies!
