I broke off part of the SATA connector on my Seagate 320g 7200.10 tonight (don't ask).
It still boots (thank god, I am backing everything up now), but I've had to secure the connection with.. well, electrical tape. I'm looking to get a replacement drive asap and have a few questions
1) Looking for something low-noise. I've heard the Samsung Spinpoint's are great but the only place I can find them for sale is tigerdirect.ca (I am in canada). Any other suggestions for quiet drives?
2) When I upgraded to a Seagate a while back, there was some built in/free software that transferred everything from the old HD to the new HD (including operating system, i didn't have to manually copy anything, it was great). Do most drive manufacturers offer this service? What's the easiest way to go about this?
Thanks.
