Mac. Hard drive. Wtf.

calenlass:
Corrupted drive, can't be found even when I try to use it as an external. I've sent it off to Silicon Valley for some extra-special data recovery, but I dunno. Anyone want to help me out? Got any deals on new hard drives I could possibly capitalise on?

Catfish_Man:
What sort of drive? External? Internal 3.5" (desktop)? Internal 2.5" (laptop)?

<edit>
iirc it's an iBook, no? That'll be a bit expensive to replace compared to a desktop drive :(

calenlass:
Internal, ibook g4. It'll boot from cds, so that drive is fine. But no one was ever very specific in telling me precisely why the hard drive couldn't be found.

Seriously, apple. The balls.

Catfish_Man:
Busted drives happen. In general I get pissed if they last less than 3 years, and I'm surprised and pleased when they last more than 5.

DealMac is pretty good, check froogle.google.com as well; you're looking for a 2.5" hard drive. 5400rpm or faster is probably nice, but any speed will do. Seagate, Maxtor, Western Digital, and a few others are pretty reputable brands.
