I have a bad one too.
I am migrating from one laptop to another. Yesterday before I left work I "moved" over a bunch of directories...a ton of my tracks for Ableton. I SAW THE FILES ON THE NEW LAPTOP. I am 1000000000000% sure they were there.
I shut down my laptop, go home, launch it up....and half the directories are gone!!!!!
Since I "moved" them from one laptop to another, they were deleted off my old one. I am frantically running a recovery scan on my old laptop since files aren't techncially deleted until that part of the hard drive has data rewritten to it.
I have most if not all of my tracks backed up in a library, but my whole structure and Ableton WARP/WAV data files are GONE with the mp3s that are gone from the setup. So many tracks. So much time spent on those. I really hope I am able to recover just about everything. Stills scanning (prob for almost an hour now), has found 23,500+ files so far and 77% done.... |

Lol @ Dave T.
something like this happened to me when I was moving some files from one drive to the other when our old studio PC gave out/ After removing the drive... I accidentally left the drive next to my friends speaker in his studio. Went to get a coke outta the fridge, came back and put it in the new case.
But before hand, I always compare the data I moved before I disconnect. Its always best to know the files are actually there, before you delete wherever it came from.
LACIE Drives suck! |

We have had problems with seagate drives. I think Tommy went through a couple before he got his maxtor...
Man this conversation reminds me when I used to be a post HD tester for Seagate long long long time ago.. |

On the topic of bad HDs, I used to love Western Digital. But I have SO many issues with them failing on me the last few years. I am talking more than a few. Especially when a part of a RAID setup. Someone said the cache on it and RAIDs just hate each other, but nothign to substantiate that.
Oddly, I don't think any of our Maxtor drives have file in awhile.
But Seagates have also had a lot of issues.
I remember when peeps would tell me it wasn't so much the brand that was important, but which manufacturing facility the HDD came from. This tends to happen with a lot of electronics. If it comes from one plant it'll work fine and won't cause any issues, while if it comes from another there's a higher chance of issues. Have heard this with hard drives, televisions, video game consoles, etc in the past. |

Just be happy they dont make drives like they used to.
Its funny when you see how many would fail on post, and the company would send them out even tho they had bad sectors.
I bet if you did a diagnostic on any new machine youd find more than a few that had problems.
BTW, stay away from DELL!!!! |

I did the transfer through a gigabit switch.
And of course I compared the data to make sure everything was copied over.
LACIE drives that use RAID are terrible/unstable. Their drives that use eSATA tend to not be stable. But their single drives have never caused issues with me and I've used them since the mid-90s. I currently use a LaCie Rugged HD (7200rpm)...
