I've just finished saving some important data on my computer. I've had this western digital hard drive (ata100) for almost a year now. It has had poor performance since i bought it, but its gotten bad lately.
For as long as Ican remember its made noises where it'll shut off and shut right back on again. But within the last month, all files i've downloaded are corrupted. But right now, it shuts off and turns back on about 2 times per minute. I ran a sisoftware sandra test on it and it performed the equivalent of a ata33, and it actually did a little bit worse. I'm expecting it to fail tonight or in a few days, but if you guys have any idea of what this could be (power supply, etc.) I'd sure like to hear it.
By the way, if i don't reply, mabye it has already died.
