So over the weekend I began noticing this in my syslogs:
Apr 8 08:04:32 weak kernel: hde: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
Apr 8 08:04:32 weak kernel: hde: dma_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=26479704, sector=1310888
Apr 8 08:04:32 weak kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 21:07 (hde), sector 1310888
/dev/hde being, of course, my lovely IBM DLTA-307030 drive (of the infamous
Deskstar 75GXP family).
Being the cautious person I am, I have no backups, and would like to get a
replacement before it goes completely kabloey on me. So, can anyone
reccomend a replacement? Features I'm looking for are greater than 30GB
capacity, ATA-100 interface, 7200 RPM, 3.5" form factor, and a price of around
$100.
I see on pricewatch that the 60 GB Deskstar 60GXP can be had for ~$99; do they
have as infamous a reputation for failure as the 75GXPs?
