Been out of the loop for a lot of things lately, so I'm looking for some opinions.
My 1.5TB SeaGate has a bad block on it (not sure if its just one yet, or several and growing...running a chkdsk on a 1.5TB takes a while...), and I'm wanting to get a drive to back the data up onto so I can send it in for warranty.
Got it down to 2 choices though I think (unless there's another suggestion):
Newegg.com - SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
Newegg.com - HITACHI Deskstar 5K3000 HDS5C3020ALA632 (0F12117) 2TB 32MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
The Hitachi I believe has a promo code as well that'll make it around $60, but I'm not sure how good of quality it is...
I may try running SpinRite as well, but I would almost want to backup the data first.
