HDS GLOBAL Ltd

HDS Global Ltd Quality control measures.

We are a IT value added re-seller first and foremost. We are not a broker, we do not receive Hard Drives on pallets and immediately ship them back out, we fully test each and every Drive. If you buy a bulk quantity of Hard Drives from a broker at an extraordinarily low price is it worth having the problems and headaches because of lack of proper testing in exchange for saving a few Pounds?

Every Hard Drive we sell (or install inside a computer) is fully low-level formatted with Disk Manager Hard Drive utility. All sectors on the drive are sequentially read and written to, then read back from the original testing sector .Next we run PCPro Hard Drive utility and run a hi-low seek, funnel seek, track to track seek, random seek, linear verify and random verify on each sector. We then use the old fashion MS-DOS format and if the testing drive tries to recover any allocation units it is sent to our recycle area. By the time all our sector integrity tests are completed without interruption you can be assured the drive will truly be error free.

Need low capacity Hard Drives for the future?

What are companies going to do in 2012 when there are no more small IDE Hard Drives available? Many older computer systems will not function on a Hard Drive higher than 8GB. Hard Drives are the most overworked component inside a computer (and they are in constant use) so in time they are bound to fail, and considering that they do not manufacture Hard Drives under 60GB anymore, demand for smaller IDE Hard Drives will easily exceed the dwindling supply and pretty soon they will all be gone. If your company anticipates using smaller drives in the next 5 years you may want to stock up and don't be surprised if 4GB's cost as much as 80GB's in the near future.
