Most HDD's have spare sectors to replace bad ones. 14 isn't a lot if you had this HDD for a while. Mine had 27 replaced with spare sectors, 3 uncorrectable sectors, and 3 unrepared ones, but the only way I could likely resolve them is a full format (as I already tried CHCKDSK) and it was already making ugly noises. So I decided to RMA'd it, because the HDD was only 5 months old and shouldn't be having these problems. I've seen 240GB SSD's for around $100 on Newegg. The 240 GB will give both faster performance and more space from what I've read on the benchmarks. You might want to look into them. I will be ordering myself a 240 GB 250 EVO whenever the money goes through to be refunded for this HDD. |
Yeah I've had mine since mid 2013 and it;s done me well. I keep all data backed up on my external WD passport drive, all that's installed on the HDD currently is the OS, software and a few Origin games so really my external is everything while the desktop just acts as a shell.
I could go for a 240gb 850 pro but I dunno how much money that'll cost me since I've still got to grab a GTX 980, new monitor, WD blue HDD (replacing this green WD) and the rest of the parts currently on order go to £248 (without new GPU,HDD,SSD,Monitor), I've got a £500 rebate with £350 something banked, my contract with my company is ending soon so I dunno if I'll be kept on as perma staff so I just want to grab what I can that isn't too expensive.
Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
