Bitrot is real

>bitrot is real

>it happens because ntfs file system sucks

Pretty sure it’s hardware related. Stop lying.

It's real but the various pathways that leads to bit flips are esoteric and technically dificult, most plebs can't get their head around it so they reject it outright. It is real though, it does happen, and you should have measures in place already to detect and recover bit rot if you value your data. If you back up your data is valuable enough for you that you need to also concider the bit rot issue.

Except you're wrong though. I have 20 year old data stored in ntfs file systems that is perfectly fine. Bitrot and the bullshit that people come up with to demonstrate it exists is just that, bullshit. There is no esoteric and technical explanation. Just bullshit. Bitrot is a lie. It doesn't happen. Bad software, hardware failure, user error, these things occur. Bitrot destroying data and OSes failing because of this are lies. My old data trove and Windows OSes just work year in an year out. Not sure what retards are doing wrong to have the opposite results but I know sure as fuck its not because of magical bitrot that can only be partially explained via esoteric technical mumbo jumbo.

Do you have 20 year old checksums of all those files that you can compare with newly generated checksums? If the answer is "no" (and of course it is) then your anecdote is worthless.

Bit rot is real, it's empirically proven, and you can calculate the probability of it happening per gigabyte of data written or per year of cold storage factoring in medium and storage conditions. Educate your self, user.

False. Next you'll be telling us pigs can fly.

Thats why you use a real file system like ZFS.

Tell me, why do people use ZFS?

>billions of computers worldwide run ntfs because it works
>HURR A HANDFUL OF NERDS USE THIS ESOTERIC FILE SYSTEM SO IT MUST BE BETTER
lmao at your retardation

ZFS is the only file system that allows actual uncompromised triple parity and beyond.

Consumers don't need data protection. Also, you just moved the goal post.

The only time I lost data in storage is when I used floppy disks.

your retarded

UPGRADING ALL DRIVES TO REFS NOW HAHAHAHAHAHAH

Search for bit rot in the literature, pleb.

So you disagree with me that consumers need data protection then?

>Consumers don't need data protection
>consumers need data protection
Make up your mind troll. Which are you arguing?

Either way relying on file system specs for data protection is retarded.

>ntfs file system
atm machine
pin number

I rest my case.

What if it's a quantum mechanical thing?

Some bit flips are caused by cosmic rays hitting the dram chips.

>using ntfs in the first place
LOL!

fucking amerilard

just did, came back with zero results supporting your claim
if you have any primary sources, cite them
otherwise i'll accept your concession
