Kernal panic. When a hard drive dies when you are in the middle of working on something (usually very important), you get the pleasure of seeing the above pop onto your screen. It is always a joyous thing to see, and gives me the (not so rare) opportunity to scream my lungs out at an inanimate object.

My oldest hard drive died today. Lucky for me, it was just a scrap drive for already-backup-up files, running via an old SCSI PCI card. Ewww…

Maxtor sucks ass! NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER (keep repeating until your brain becomes numb) buy a Maxtor hard drive!

Lacie. Western Digital. Seagate. Buy those.
