I have an older hard drive (4-5 years) that's been running perfectly, but just recently started giving the write error code. It's a WD 80GB ATA, just used for music & movie storage. I've backed up everything onto a larger external drive.
Is this thing on its last leg? It's out of warranty, and not really worth spending cash to get fixed.
