I installed ASUS f3jr in the laptop after making the purchase. It's standard practice to check on BB. Everything went smoothly, and after 35 minutes, 40% of the BB revealed 6. The HDD counter's temperature was 57 t (deg.) when checked. I'll state it right away: operating such an HDD is not recommended! Prior to then, Hitachi had been employed for 2.5 years. He has 27 t and 0 - BB (temp.). Just the facts, nothing personal. Unlucky with the batch, firmware, or model, perhaps.
