Those 3TB Toshibas (DT01ACA300 / P300) are just trash. Toshiba cuts every corner they can find.

>dies after 2640 hours
there's no way that shit is not under warranty

It is but I don't think I have the receipt anywhere

Meanwhile, my 10-year old WD

Also does anyone else's SSD keep writing tons of data for no real reason?

This thing has proven to be sturdy as fuck, but why is it writing like 100gb per week?
I don't move things on and off it, I just have Windows 10 on it basically.

worked for me

>After their first reallocation, drives are over 14 times more likely to fail within 60 days than drives without reallocation counts, making the critical threshold for this parameter also one.

my WD green died after 40k hours
my WD black I'm using right now is at 20k hours and my laptops old WD blue is at 10k hours
that being said, WDs are overpriced

not gonna comfort you but i once fucked my reallocated sector count by downloading too much anime at once (fuck bd rips, man) and all it took to fix this was to run error checking utility that windows has and writing hdd full of shit with some utility that i forgot the name of. i did this early 2018 i think and the drive still works so i guess it's worth trying out but i wouldn't rely on it that much.

You will die before your SSD die

Huh, haven't noticed any problems with mine.

CAUTION

It's had that warning and those 100 reallocated sectors for ages, I have it backed up and it's mainly for muh gaymes and not-so-important stuff so it's not going to be the end of the world if it dies.

>Windows
Superfetch and Windows updates.
Also telemetry if its not set in Basic or Security mode.

Anyone else scared to RMA a hard drive?

I'm on Jow Forums all day, who knows what my browser has saved automatically as a temporary file or whatever.

Why would you be scared if you don't have anything illicit on your drive? Anyway, just do a zero fill or if you are really autistic, fill it with /dev/urandom

Same here.
Mine has a few more hours.

>100 relocated sectors
>uses the thresholds as a raw value
You clearly have no idea what you're fucking talking about.

You only have 1 reallocated sector

Oof! 5 Reallocated sectors on a 3TB disk, how will you even cope?

It had 4 reallocated sectors last week

how big is a sector?

Check your smartctl output. Oh wait,do you need a GUI with colors and pictures to diagnose something?
And normally its 512B.

512 GB

So I've lost 2.5mb?

>Did I lose 2.5MB?
No you idiot, the sector was REALLOCATED. Meaning, the drive remapped the sector and its contents to a spare sector.
A 3TB disk can have 20K 'spare' sectors to remap to.

>5x512bytes = 2.5MB

best girl

Toshiba's from every old Dell I've owned have started failing or failed with horrible read/write speeds

You don't need to be cleaver to know that 1MB is 1,000,000 Bytes.

You're right but in my mind I just said 5x500byte = 2500kb (I know) so 2.5mb

Mature, calm and humble Shizuku is clearly the superior girl.

I had 4 external 2.5 inch hard drives basically die (reallocated sector). 2 were from HGST so western digital and 2 from Seagate. All four drives have been bought within 3 years from before. Oh well, I blame myself a little since I usually never ejected them before unplugging them from my computer.

SSD's are more efficient when you have more empty space. This is due to ssd's only being able to adress blocks. Which means it has to perform a "copy, Modify, write" procedure. the fuller it is, the more it has to modify.

akschually this is my desktop yet I have to admit sometimes while Im out I power it on by Wake on LAN and forget to turn it off later

How can non WD drives ever recover?

I have a WD Caviar from 2003 with 98K hours on it. Not sure if it spins up anymore, its been lying dormant for atleast a year now since I dont have an PATA interface on any of my equipment

Why the fuck do you niggas use so small drives?

Shiet nigga that sucks. I have an 11 year old 320GB Samsung HDD with 25000+ power-on hours, 4000 power cycles, and it's still going strong. Using it as a low-priority backup drive.

Just put it into fRAID 0, and you're fine.

Going back well over 10 years I've never had a single drive fail. Seagate, WD, Hitachi and even Samsung at one point.

This, my toshiba laptop from 2015 only charges if I keep the plug in a certain spot. Recently it started crashing randomly and boot-looped until I flexed the board until it made a distressing sound. Utterly garbage brand and I hope their executives and quality control people are publicly executed

>Expecting the Chink electronics in your SSD to last a lifetime

>t. sandforce shill
MLC, TLC, QLC is cheap chink shit.
Only SLC seems to last a decent amount of time.

It's a samsung ssd so yes, it will happen.

You're absolutely incorrect. 1, no storage media will last a lifetime if its in constant use.
The samsung SSD's will last considerably longer than from the makes of sandisk, crucial, WD etc.
A economy grade samsung will see about 500x cycles on it before it becomes pretty shitty. While pros seem to have a longer span reaching over 1000x cycles.

What?

>buy 3TB Toshiba
Fuck, time to back it up.

>1MB is 1,000,000 Bytes
Maybe in crazy land, but here in reality a Megabyte is 1,048,576 bytes.

A mebibyte is 1,048,576bytes
I thought you eurocucks where supposed to good with SI units?

damn almost 4 years old, nice

That warning level for crystal disk mark is way too paranoid. You should watch out for it changing. I have a disk with over 15000 relocated sectors that started dying recently. Even then, it was at something like 12000 flat for years with no issues.
5 is perfectly healthy for a drive that big .

Have the same drive and it's still alive and kicking, not home so can't take a crystaldisk screenshot right now

The byte is not an SI unit, nor a non-SI unit accepted for use with the SI.

bought in jan. 2011

>wd black. noisy as fuck
That brought back bad memories. So glad I don't use WDs anymore.

I'm afRAID of 0.

What are you talking about, child? "Mega" has meant a million for the better part of a century.

I had that same hard drive. It died in 2 or 3 years, right after the warranty ended. Probably never going to buy Toshiba again.

Toshiba drives above 1-2TB are trash.
