Get an SSD they said
lol
I don't get this anti-SSD attitude. It's a storage medium and there's nothing controversial about that.
obv the users fault you dumb millenial nigger monkey
I have a 1tb hhd and I'm thinking.. Is it actually worth upgrading to 3tb?...
Usually. Newer process, higher aureal density, faster speeds, more movies. What's not to love. Better yet, get a couple and raid1 'em.
Poorfags meming.
Build a NAS and throw all your shit worth saving there. You'll thank yourself later so many god damned times.
Your chinkshit Molext->SATA adapter was faulty dumdum. Next time don't be cheapskate when you're hooking up expensive parts.
This.
Had this one mactoddler friend that once decided to "build" his own gaming PC. He was too much of a brainlet and couldn't figure it out so he returned everything except the GPU and PSU and bought a prebuilt.
When installing his own HDD later on he put it in sideways and had the cables sticking out of the case. He just forced the panel back on bending and breaking both the power and SATA connectors, frying the HDD.
Told him how to fix it but he was ready to just trash it all. Bought his whole $2000 "dead" system off him for $500 and fixed it up in 10 minutes.
He's now playing PUBG on his $2000 iMac at 15 frames per second.
ive had 3 ssds and only one screwed up because it had 20tb+ written to it over 5 years ago
Why do you need 3TB of mirrored info? That's clinical hoarding, user.
You deserve this for using shitty cables
HAHA YOU USED THAT SHITTER MOLEX ADAPTER YOU RETARD
Molex to SATA, lose all your data
SAMSHIT HOUSEFIRES
That's just part of the movies. Have a qnap populated with 3tb drives in raid 6 for everything else (more movies, TV shows, programs going back to windows 95, pictures galore, over 200k mp3s, etc.)
You're not a drivelet, are you user?
I consolidated a few drives a couple months ago, still had file creation dates going all the way back to 01. Once you get locked into a serious hoarding situation, the tendency is to push it as far as you can. My goal is to have any song, generally known program, some movies and TV shows available offline. This includes an offline Wikipedia copy, no images though. Used to use dc++ and download people's whole drives, pick through it all and chuck anything I didn't have a copy of on a hdd. Dude I've got music where the titles are in some funky squiggle language, whatever.
what the fuck did you even do to it? jesus christ!
How does it feel that despite all that, he is vastly wealthier than you?
> Molex connector
> Red/yellow/black power connectors
I see your problem right there niggers
Stop using aged ass shit branded PSUs you cheap fucks
This :
Cheap molex/SATA adapters put the plastic on the SATA side in a way that allows the wires to be spaced improperly and create arcs. This commonly results i fires and just losing a drive isn't even the worst possible outcome.
>Molex to SATA adapter
>Blames the SSD
not him but you assume a lot based off no information
>20tb
Is that supposed to be a lot?
Yfw when my NAS is an 8TB external drive plugged via USB into a Craigslist Dell Optiplex.
I recognize that molex to SATA power connector.
>in a way that allows the wires to be spaced improperly and create arcs
Not only in a way that allows them to be spaced improperly, but also melt the fucking insulation so that the wires are exposed and CAN arc.
If you are going to use any molex to SATA power connectors make sure you use the crimped kind.
lol if you haven’t been SSD only + NAS since 2009
newfag here, what does NAS mean?
Network-Attached Storage
>has better experience because he's smarter than (possibly) rich idiot
why would that feel bad for him?
Thank you!
It's a stupid way to make a joke. They're retarded.
It doesn't even make sense.
Short for Nasir (the rapper) or Naseem (the boxer)
I don't remember telling people to get a ssd just fot the hell of it.
I said reserachfirst then buy a ssd.
that's the problem with itoddlers they never read up on what to do they just buy it and stick it in
also have have my old M550 curical and it still works.
also you pluged in power to the data connection you dumb ass.
the smaller connection is sata data and the large one is sata power why to go OP ya dufus.
>iToddler shill's threads got deleted
>all his posts purged
disappears
Really made me think.
Yes my ssd's always spontaneously generate a voltage high enough to fry itself and the cables too. We need to stop these dangerous generators that magically generate high amounts of power.
I don't understand how Normie's are so retarded they can't even put a PC together. It takes barely any skill and a tiny bit of common sense to work out how everything fits together. How people like this function in society is completely baffling
>SSD blown the fuck out
Being such a slob to manage blowing one in to smitherines.
>putting an SSD in a system so obsolete that there are no SATA power connections
(you) did this to yourself (you) retarded fuck
Let me guess: you plug your computer straight into house voltage without surge or battery protection or any line conditioning.
Damn I bought a sata cable on AliEx for $1 because mobo ones ran out
Will I get c*cked just as bad?
He's an "artist" and gets really emotional and rages at the most insignificant shit. He literally wanted to smash and trash his "dead" system before calming down and selling it to me so that he wouldn't have to look at it anymore.
>uses molex to sata housefire
>blames drive anyway
good job, retard
>2011+7
>retards still calling AMP Champ connectors "molex"
yeahnahai
It says Samsung on it.
Of course it's gonna explode.
What the fuck did you expect?
>ssd
>shit psu, and molex
Ah, people who think they're talented are the worst

Am I missing something? They're different.
I'm willing to change, but their SEO sucks.
> tfw no 1tb hard hard disk
Beautiful.
I want more stories like this.
>Samsung
You brought this on yourself.
Never trust Koreans.
This. Especially the common sense part. It's almost as if some people have conditioned themselves with an "I don't understand computers and I never can" mantra and sperg out in ways they wouldn't otherwise when putting their PC together.
Something doesn't fit without excessive force? Connectors don't seem to be made to fit together?
"Oh, it's a PC and they can't be understood with common sense, so I'll just use that excessive force and try to cram together things which obviously aren't meant to fit together."
>That's clinical hoarding
Do you even Sup Forums?
>BREAKING NEWS
>ELECTRONICS CAN FAIL
kill yourself you stupid fuck
I still have a OCZ 1st gen Vertex 60gb with like 15tb or so written to it. It still just werks. In total I now have 6 SSDs ranging from shitty BX200 to samsung 850 evo and they've all been fine.
Here I made a guide to explain what to look for.
...
>have shitty MB and PSU
>complains about the ssd burning
>7yo system
>have that drive
>have cheapest mobo money can find
>have $5 nobrand psu
>molex to sata
>never do backups
Oh no. Does this mean my cable will explode too?
You remember the scene in Idiocracy when they had to put various shaped objects through various shaped holes and main hero is looking at them like wtf ?!
This is how I feel when I see trying to hook up monitor to case.
for an SSD yeah
