Just say it's full of porn, it's easier to explain

Always keep an nsfw tab open to swap to so your family doesnt see you on the arch linux wiki.

Is it worth replacing within a year only to be sent a refurbished when it dies?

Pretty sure I had a bigger hard drive than that for my Amiga. You could have broken a toe if you’d dropped it.

Seagate so how long before it fails?

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 22 points 3 days ago (1 children)

In my experience, not all Seagates will fail but most HDD's that fail will be Seagates.

[–] DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 16 points 3 days ago (5 children)

Because Seagate sell the most drives and all drives fail?

Man, I used to LOVE defragmenting drives. I felt like I was actually doing something productive, and I just got to sit back and watch the magic happen.

Now I know better.

Do you need it? Probably not. Do you want it? Oh, yeah.

Makes me shudder. I have to replace a drive in my array, because it is degraded. It's a 4TB. Imagine having to replace one of these. I'd much rather have a bunch of cheaper drives, even if they are a bit more expensive per TB, because the replacement cost will eventually make the total cost of ownership lower.

Also, repeat with me: "Please give me a Toshiba or Hitachi, please"

[–] Theoriginalthon@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

So if you have been around long enough you might remember the Hitachi (IBM) deathstars https://wizardprang.wordpress.com/2013/10/14/the-last-deathstar/

I see Hitachi and think no fucking way, where as Seagate I used to see as an always yes. Now I just stick the disks in a zfs array and call it done

What I'm really waiting for is large capacity ssds with sata.
