[QUOTE="Hielkenator, post: 3393007, member: 244700"] I've had a few External drives. 6 years minimum is a bit high I think, depending what you are using it for. I have had 3 crashed drives that I used with my Wii. 2 drives Crashed so far in my PC. For the Wii they were "Cheap" WD elements 1 TB Ext. Drives. Formatted to WBFS. In My PC they were also a WD 80 GB and a Samsung 160GB drive. The sectors were badly damaged, and the drives were losing data once in while. Later on, they made the "clicking noise". They could'nt be used any more. All crashed before the 2 year mark, and I'm very cautious with my stuff. It's just normal use. ( But extensive , long operation times.) They were very well maintained. Just recently I've bought a Packard Bell Silver 640 Gb usb powered ext. drive. I hope this drive will last me longer. * A drive does NOT have lasers. I's a magnetic disc, with heads to read the data. [img]http://www.instructables.com/image/FMHZV9ENTOEQHOA93E/Open-up-your-hard-drive-and-recover-the-magnet.jpg[/img] * Wiimc is a media player and has NO WBFS defragmentation options. WBFS does'nt need Defragmentation, Cluster size is to big to get fragmented. the partion table can get corrupted and fixed with Wiims wbfs & iso tools.
