[QUOTE="raja_mastana, post: 1796663, member: 3444"] Mine was not a new hard disk. It is about 3 years old and out of warranty. I started using it for torrents 8 months back when I got a PogoPlug. Much before that, I used ASUS router as a downloader. It had a USB hard drive, don't remember the brand though. It too died after an year of torrent usage. Hence my conclusion was that torrents put a lot of load on hard drives that causes early death BTW, all my HDDs are WD. There was never a need to switch to a different brand since they severed me well. Cranky mentions using HDD 3+ years for torrents, so I am missing something [/QUOTE]
