not my laptop technically, more like my harddrive
I'm currently running a Linux live CD, and the harddrive keeps sending SMART reports that FAILURE IS IMMINENT it also refuses to write data
Fortunately for me, I backed everything up to an external a couple days ago, because I could tell from the odd bluescreen/failure to boot that something was going to fail
Anyway, the machine is 4 years old, but it has 4G of ram and I don't game on it, I've yet to meet a program it can't run with ease, so instead of waiting and buying a new laptop, I'm taking this as an opportunity to get a good harddrive that will last me at least till im out of college, as well as be a step up in size and speed
Methinks a 240G SATA III SSD (6G/s) for 299.99 is sounding pretty good, and I wont need to worry about head crashes anymore (the suspected cause of my current problem)
thoughts?
