Hi,
My hard drive is dying:(
http://paste.opensuse.org/21982125
Any recommendation for a replacement is appreciated
This dying hard drive is 2-TB I am looking for just 1-TB
replacement.
Another thing, can I mix a SSD with SATA hard drive both internal?:\
Thanks in advance.
Edit.
My budget should not exceed $150.00

Please boot some Linux and paste here the output of:
smartctl -a /dev/sdX
for that disk.

The above link prices go from 52.95€ to 80€. I’ll let you do the
conversion :-p
(I personally use the cheaper in that list, or very similar - Seagate
Barracuda series)

Hi Carlos,
I did the smartctl in this drive last October with errors until last week
It is now showiing the warning before boot.

That disk is not old… Mine have 15000 hours and in good health. Is it
a laptop?

Notice that it started to give warnings 200 hours of use ago.
Yes, do not continue using that disk, make a backup ASAP, and replace it
now.

I said in my previous post I detected this last October
The drive was only used for 13 months and this January, 18 months.
I am really disappointed with this, that is why I posted here and don’t just grab
one for replacement to avoid another disaster.
Had this happened before July last year even if it was under warranty, i would not
go for a under warranty replacement of the same brand and will opt to buy another brand replacement.
Yes I already did the backup in the first week of December
all works in this machine now were all being save outside.

This is the trouble with threads like this. I wouldn’t touch WD with a
bargepole; my reasons have been discussed repeatedly before in various
places. JMHO.
Last Saturday I ordered a new desktop PC, that will have both an SSD and an HD. The HD is to be a 2TB Seagate HDD Barracuda 7200.14 2TB, SATA 6Gb/s. The PC has not yet arrived, so I can not yet comment on how well it works with openSUSE.
Thanks for the responses,
i was contemplating between the WD caviar black and seagate baracuda
I think the seagate barracuda has the edge base from postings above.
Anymore thoughts?
For an SSD with maybe just around 128GB, any recommendation welcome.
I would like to mix the two drives.:\
I ordered a SanDisk SSD 256GB, SATA 6Gbps SSD drive for my new PC, where I chose 256GB over 128GB strictly because a few people had recommended 256GB to me (over 128GB), given the price difference was small from where I was ordering the PC. My own view was, given I also will have the 2TB HD, is that 128GB would have been more than sufficient. I’m struggling to see how I can use the 256GB.
As for SanDisk, I don’t know if their SSD is any good. They happened to be the cheapest, and since my plan is to put my data on the HD, I’m not worried too much about an SSD drive failure on this desktop.

Hi
I got a WD Black SATAIII only 320GB though laptop model for my HP goes
along quite nice with SLED and Windows 8.1.
In this laptop I have an OCZ Vertex4 128GB, it flies on the dual
core Intel® B840@1.9GHz…
systemd-analyze
Startup finished in 4.915s (firmware) + 25ms (loader) + 3.096s (kernel) + 2.248s (userspace) = 10.286s
The bulk of my systems run WD drives, have a couple of Raptors,
three RE3’s (3.5"), black and blue ones (2.5"), max size I run is 500GB
the rest are too big IMHO. Aside from the Raptors (36GB) the other 3.5"
drives are 250GB (Caviar SE) and 500GB (RE3).
If your going to mix SSD and Rotating drives, the you would need to
look at tweaking the io scheduler, see this thread and the post from

The wrong specs is for WD OEM and the price for that is $89.99
Hi
Don’t forget to include a 3.5" mounting bracket for the SSD if it isn’t included…?
So 120GB will equal 112GB formatted…

Mmm. Rather 120GB equal 111.7 GiB. 
After formatting, it will be even less available space.

Hi malcolm,
Thanks, it’s good you mentioned it, I included it,
For the small amount of space in that SSD 120GB /112GB when formatted
Do you think I can use it for the UFI, swap,root and home partitions, then the
hard disk drive for data/storage?
I read in one of the link in this thread that at least, take 10% of the total SSD
to be not formatted?

Hi
More than enough space, I would run swap at the end of the 1TB device
as it’s unlikely to be used during normal operations;
sda1 - 260MB type ef00
sda2 - 40GB type 8300 /
sda3 - the rest for /home type 8300
sdb1 - your data minus swap space type 8300
sdb2 - swap type 8200
Set your swappiness to 10, also set an io schedule.
I would pre-configure the devices esp the efi partition and during the
install set to not format, but mount as /boot/efi
You can pre-cofigure via the rescue cd and the command line via gdisk;
gdisk /dev/sda
write and quit gdisk then run again;
gdisk /dev/sda
Configure as required, repeat the same for sdb
Then format the efi;
mkfs.vfat -F 16 /dev/sda1
Boot the install medium configure and enjoy, remember to not
format /boot/efi.
Are you going to use ext4 or btrfs?

Hi Malcolm,
Thanks for the pointers, I will do what you said.
I am waiting for the drives hopefully it will be delivered this week and
maybe I can work on it in the weekend. I will use ext4.
To all the contributors in this thread, thanks a lot.
As usual support in this openSUSE forum is really amazing.
See you guys in the install boot section, I might post there
if I encounter a problem when installing.
Hi malcolm,
My order arrived yesterday and I followed exactly your suggestion except for the I/O schedule.
Maybe I will post a question in another section of this forum regarding the I/O etc… and link it to this thread
for the SSD.
My machine now is up and running and happy to see my boot time improved significantly to 5-seconds.
Again thanks for the help.
