There is no healing of thy bruise; thy wound is grievous: all that hear the bruit of thee shall clap the hands over thee: for upon whom hath not thy wickedness passed continually?

  • The thing is I’m a data hoarder who buys lots of HDD’s; both new and used. I have only bought a few Seagates. It’s always the Seagates that are fucked. I had a Toshiba and Western Digital fail on me but I have had 5 Seagates fail on me. Could be a coincidence, sure but the brand I have bought the fewest of had the most failures. I recognize this is not scientific in any way. I recently bought a brand new 8TB Seagate Barracuda and its still going strong. I hope if lasts a good while. My oldest drive is a 1TB Hitachi (RIP) from 2008. I can’t wait for 8TB SSD’s to become cheaper.











  • Fair enough, I misunderstood your argument. I appreciate your demonstration. Any chance you’d be willing to share your script? I have a few ideas on how to play with it.

    Edit: I forgot, I actually had a HDD fail on me, luckily I was able to recover some of the data. Many .flac files on it were completely corrupted and unreadable past a certain point. The .aiff files I had were perfectly readable. I suspect they were at least partially corrupted. Luckily, I was able to re download all of the affected files. So, no data was actually lost.
