This thread discusses the Content article: The sound of a hard drive gone bad

Now I'm in the market for a new 1TB external hard drive. I'd love to find a Gigabit Ethernet connected drive, but I'll make due with a USB 2.0 version.

I'm open for suggestions; anyone?

CompUSA has a pretty good selection.

Mostly USB. Some of the brands I was unfamiliar with but they did have Western Digital and Seagate if I remember right. Not sure what your preferences are.

Better yet, take a look through Tom's Hardware. They've got a better selection with a filter feature that'll let you refine your search a little better.

Sorry to hear.

Hello, this is my first post here. Funny you should mention a bad hard drive. This just happened to me last week. First time that I have ever had it happen. Mine was an internal HD, that thing would drive me crazy, haha. I got a new one from newegg.com promtly and popped it in. Seems to be working fine.

I would also like to add that I think you are doing a great job here. I just recently decided to start on the path to becoming A+ certified and I think that you have a very well thought out, comprehensive, and practical process. Thanks for taking your time to share your knowledge with us. I look forward to your next module update.
