*wacka wacka*

virus

It's a mechanical drive. That's the magic.

Fuck SSDs, I've had 2 SSDs die on me with no warning, but I've never had a HDD die, I still have an old DELL inspiron 3700 with a 60GB HDD that still works.

Rip Chinese cartoons

>WD Blue clicks violently for a few seconds after boot since brand new
>still going strong after 7 years
It just werks.

There's that one guy on the dev team who secretly tossed in his self repair daemon without the rest of the teams approval last minute.

I always hear about hard drives failing after around two years like it's a common thing, but I've only ever personally had really old drives kick the bucket.

My hard drive was clicking constantly for a long time until I got tired of it I went in and looked at the power settings and it was constantly spinning down or something like that, I set it to "full speed" and it hasn't made any noises since.

Works on my machine.

I bought two seagate 1.5TB drives back in 2009. One was used in my server which runs 24/7 (barring power failure or maintenance work). It finally died last year. The other is in my desktop pc as a backup drive and is still working fine. My desktop's boot drive is a WD and is about the same age. It still working fine to.

have a powerbook from '97 with 500mb hdd that still works

I love mechanical hard drives. I think I'll be replacing this soon, though. It might be working great despite the power on hours, but it's only 500GB.

What are the odds of my 2TB Westren digital blue failing

Hard disks are more reliable than people make it appear. The ones that are obviously faulty don't even make it to store. Not all problems are caught of course but these disks usually die within the first months. You should also be careful with buying the latest model because some models have very high failure rate and if a model is new you can't know that since there's no data.

50%

Either it fails or it doesn't

>Westren Digital
100%. You buy off brand Chinese shit often? :^)

Got the system like this for cheap in November and it hasn't changed since.

You must be incredibly lucky. I have yet to repair a laptop due to a faulty SSD. Many clients come in asking why their laptop is piss poor slow and neat every time it's because their hdd is failing.

HDDs are unsuitable for laptops. Not enough ventilation and take too much power.

Power consumption and seek times are the only advantage.

For a laptop I'd prefer flash memory in case I drop it, but never for a desktop.

What the hell is this. Fuck off.

magical japanese software

its another situation like the noctuna poopfans

god danm does it look bad but man does it work good

While I don't really prefer SSDs for desktop, I have a 480GB Intel 535 laying about doing nothing so I think I'm gonna install that in my desktop when I swap all the mechanicals. Gonna put a 4TB WD Gold and 4TB WD Red in there. Then I have room for another 4TB WD Red if I need space in the main cage, but currently all my HDDS amount to about 4TB of space so I doubt I'll feel too short handed with 8.5TB.

You have more in drives than I have in computers.

Fuck off summershit.

Don't even joke like that. The thought of my drives doing that one day keeps me up at night. I'm a poor NEET that can't afford a backup drive, and all my drives are full.

This triggers me. Fucking Seagate 3TB HDD.

Well, I have like 5 drives in 1 computer. They are all really basic 1TB/500GB drives from 2009/2010 tho. So nothing good.

The samsung spinpoint is a high performance drive, but I find it to be a turd because it vibrates like crazy.

If they last that long, they'll probably last much longer. 2 of my drives have over 57k power on hours now and rest are above 40k.

I had a 3TB Seagate HDD

ONCE

If it makes you feel better I've got 9 hdds in my server which runs 24/7. I ain't worried about data loss. I do have a backup stored on a nas which when not in use is shutdown. We're talking around 6.7TB of data.

They look to have gotten better, so if you have one of the later ones you should be ok.
If you bought near post-flood you're deeeep into borrowed time.

Werks on my machine™.

for now
good luck

Doctors usually call it "autism"

I've had this drive for nearly 4 years, are you triggered yet?

I'd be more worried if it was a WD blue, those things are horrifically shitty.

Are you completely oblivious to the history of the STD3000? You better have backups and there better not be on OS on that

>>click
>someone explain this magic
It was your fan

WD blues are pretty reliable on average. Some blues are rebranded greens tho.

I have a 1TB HGST drive that is making a grinding noise, crystal disk told me that it should be used with caution, I wish I could fix it.
Fucking piece of shit Ebay seller.

Why I use craigslist. I've taken my desktop and 17" LCD into a Mcdonalds to check a drive.

>I don't understand this
>leave so I can be ignorant in peace
Autism.

>I've had 2 SSDs die on me
How!? I have several and none have died. The oldest one so far is a Samsung 830.

I had a rig going for years it was expensive, and one especially hot summer I couldn't run it longer than a few minutes before it would overheat and crash, oh smithfield fond memories of my instant noodle maker...

*clack* *clack*

I was out of funds and was expecting some or something in a week, or i just didn't care i honestly don't remember. so I put an ice pack next to the fan intake (wrapped in a towel and a plastic bag) checking the condensation every 20 minutes

obviously that shit leaked while i was away right onto my HDD, and shorted out, after letting it dry out for a few days, and trying an external HDD hub etc. I gave up and got a new one, when i got home from the nub electronic store that shit was resurrected, I couldn't run it as a main drive for some reason but i did get to back it up.

I got a good one, it's been running nearly 24/7 for 4 years now, but keep being a good goyim and buying WD. It's amazing how effective modern day marketing is.

>Are you completely oblivious to the history of the STD3000? You better have backups and there better not be on OS on that

Are you completely oblivious to the history of WD blues and WD caviars? You better have backups and better not be an OS on that

also:

>he doesn't have all his drives backed up
>he keeps his OS on a mechanical drive

>have a backup external I only plug in once every few months
>it's used so infrequently that for all I know it could be one of the disks that's defective but you'd only find out about it a few weeks into regular use

Is there a suggested break-in period, or some kind of stress test I could perform to make it happen if it's going to?

>buy used 15k drives since new 15k drives cost their weight in gold
>2 of 6 have died a few months after buying them

Why? 15k drives aren't even good anymore. Ultra high performance where seek times are #1 has gone over to SSDs, and high end enterprise storage is 7200 RPM drives between 4 and 8TB that give you some 200MB/s+ sustained read with sub 5ms seek times.
Which is more than adequate..

>visit certain website
>HDD begins clicking like fuck for days after visting
>Think it's about to explode
>Goes back to normal
>Visit site again
>Begins clicking for days again..
>Goes back to normal

WHAT the FUCK is happening on that site honestly..

Which site?

facebook
gee golly

*croak*

Dumbfuck.

I've had two of those die out of four.

In two years or so.

> STD3000
Oh fuck that's what I've got. Been using for 2 years to archive porn and stuff.

Do they just fail or do they give you enough time to bail out of the drive before it totally fails?

Try turning it off and back on again

I've got 2 and they work fine. No problems yet and the S.M.A.R.T data says it's good

what the fuck is this program user

It's fine, the seagate 3tb failure meme is just a meme.

crystalmark.info/download/index-e.html
which one am I supposed to download there are too many options

is this program even valuable to me? I don't know what any of these fields means but it has a cute anime girl

i think thats normal in modern drives.. i have many that make weird noises but still work fine. one sounds like it stops spinning or something hits the hdd case but it works so i havent changed it

That's bullshit. I've had so many failed HDDs over the past years I've stopped counting. Last one failed 2 weeks ago in my three-way RAID1 array.

That HDD tried to warn you not to waste time on that cancerous NSA data-collection platform

>had the same 169 current pending relocated sector accounts for over a year.
>HD Tune shows zero bad sectors.
Hard Drives are fun

I've had a 'failing' Seagate barracuda 7200.11 for almost 4 years. The other three died a long time ago but this one lives.

What are toshiba x300 like? Their 6tb model is only about £140 right now which is how much a shitty 4tb red costs.

Can't seem to find any reviews though for some reason.

but i dont have any hdd op

I had 5 ssd's fail on me in 2 years

I was deeply disapointed in these "new" ssd's

Then one day I looked them up and saw all the bad reviews online and complains that other people had them fail on them too in half a year

I never bought another ssd without looking up reviews, bought myself the samsung 850 and have never had anymore problems for now (3 months in)

It's much faster then a couple of those others in raid 0 and allowed me to plug in other devices on the sata ports they used up

I'm thinking about replacing the hdd in my laptop for a ssd, it also has a pci e ssd for the system

How much battery life in minutes so you think this will give me when running on a battery (it has about 5 hours now)

This is why you don't buy from OCZ

Holy shit how did you know it was OCZ

Yes, I had 5 of them fail on me, there is one still alive..

Why did I have 6 of them? Bought them for the company, the windows xp computers didn't take them too kindly.. Because.. Xp 32 bit blah blah..

Brought them home and set them up in raid and they just kept failing

I took the hdd (Seagate ST96812AS) out of my ps3 (2007) after it died (2010), I used it externally like a flash drive since 2011, but put it in my pc last year as I got a 64gb usb 3.0 flash drive which has better r/w speeds. The hdd outlived the ps3 by 6 years. It somehow even outlived a 500gb seagate hdd I bought at a local computer store in 2012. I still use it to store some media.

Don't tell anyone but I store porn on this.
