>>106475064>95 hours>already dyingI'm so glad my absolute tank of a SSD refuses to die
>>106475064these hdds fail all the time, all the hdds I have have died, internal and external and I stopped buying the storage spinning nigger
>>106475064I c-c-an fix her
>>106475129Probably a refurb they reset the counter on.
>>106475440not OP, but I've never had a HDD fail within 7 years of use. My last failed after around 9 years of use, including one getting absolutely hammered for torrenting.
>95 hourswhatWAT
>>106475469One external Seagate failed, now it connects and freezesOne internal Western digital 80GB from 2008 got so slow it was unusableAnother WD internal simply dropped dead after becoming slow, ran all the chkdsk commands made it external and now it connects but freezes, disconnectsAll were used for hundreds of TBs of writes.
>>106475549Got a Toshiba one that is getting slower, internal but stopped using that laptop years ago.
>>106475064did you zero it before using?idk how common it is these days but in the past hdds used to come with uninitialized sectors and any attempt to read it before writing to it threw checksum error and marked sector as pending.you absolutely had to do long format or zero it with victoria or badblocks or whatever your os supports.
>>106475064I've had this drive since 2013
kek, I just tested my 15 year old Samsung HJ103SJs, and all are still fine after 10 years of regular use and 5 years of sitting in my draw. Also have an 11 year old WD Green drive that's fine bu t wasn't used so much.
>>106476783Saying that, I must admit, I've had other Samsung, Seagate, and WD drives all fail on me at far younger ages. Tis the roll of the dice.
>>106475440You're a pathetic lying faggot. your father is ashamed of you
Anons why are you still using HDDs? I get if it's for nostalgia sake, I have an old drive from ~2010 that still works. But after having it in my modern build for even a minute, it was so loud that it had to go. Plus it's slow af. This isn't the 90s anymore, so unless you are actually dirt poor in the third world using scavenged computer parts, why are you still using a HDD?
>>106479029>it was so loudawww it's thinkingalso headphones
>>106479029Enterprise rust is pretty good for bulk storage.
>>106475064>seagateIt was already dead.
>>106479029SSDs are still too expensive. For the price of a 8tb SSD I can buy more than 40TB HDD space.
>>10647506495 hours?>rotationsIn 2025?
>>106475064>shitagate hddThat's normal.
>>106475129>10 years of uptimeepic
>>106479029Cold storage. SSDs are no good for it and I'm not fucking around with discs and tapes.

>>106475064>shitgate
>>106475626nope. I'll have to open it and do me thing
>>106478938My father IS ashamed of me but not because of my failing HDDs, faggot.
>>106481635It's because you're a pathetic faggot loser with 0 manly traits. You're shameful
