my bro's laptop has a hitachi 160gb and he has problems with it the disk makes funny noises so he backs everything up on a portable harddrive.

Hitachi makes decent drives but, I would still back up often. Hard Drives are mechanical and they do wear out. I've honestly had better luck with Seagate and Western Digital. They both now have 5 year warranties on their "performance" drives, so they are better than Hitachi in that respect. If you are looking for something very quiet, Western Digital's drives are near silent.

That hard drive has a good rhythm going :)
My laptop has a Travelstar 120GB and have had no problems for over a year and a half now :D

After you back up the data, try to get Hitachi to replace it. HItachi makes good drives and I've only had one fail. If it wasn't an OEM (installed by a computer manufacturer) drive, it has a 3 year warranty. I have two Hitachi 7K200's that still run great, both are used as system drives. I have one in my PC and the other in a Mac. You could also try a SMART program. On Windows, HDD Health is free. On Mac, SMART Reporter is free. Good Luck!

well the one in it is a hitachi, but i just got a 250gb simpletech portable harddrive to back up everything but its still incredibly slow.

I'd do a full backup ASAP. Sounds like you got a lemon. I'd get Hitachi to replace the drive, as most come with a 3 year warranty. Otherwise, Western Digital, Seagate and Hitachi make good drives. I find Western Digital's to be extremely quiet and reliable but, Seagate offers a 5 year warranty. Hope this helps.

lately its been really slow doing everyday things and if you listen to it, it makes the same continueous clicking noises even when theres nothing going on... its about a year old.

What is it doing to make you think that?
