better than an SSD outright dying with no warning :^)

>destroys all your data
Not really. Don't you have drive redundancy in your array / replication scheme?

This. At least when a hard disk dies there's a good chance it remains read only so you can save your files. The files on a dead ssd however are gone for good

that's not how SSDs fail, unless you wreck the flash controller, in which case it's just as bad as the HDD controller failing.

In the meantime you drop an HDD and its just fucking gone

still better than SSD

>At least when a hard disk dies there's a good chance it remains read only
Not really. That's more a filesystem failure than a HDD failure.

HDD rarely fail in a way where they simply become readonly, that's more what SSD might do.

This is why you RAID0 across 7 drives.

SSDs safely go into read-only mode when they fail

How about an additional daily hammering? Wouldn't want to loose data only 7 times more than the usual person, right?

The controllers or something else can fail rather than just the storage cell "wearing out".

*restores from backup*

heh... nothin personnel... rusty...

Why dont we have better methods of storage? HDD and SSDs are flawed.
>ssds die over time
>handling an hdd wrong could destroy the whole thing
why do we live in such a shitty existence

A hammer and chisel are cheap and there's essentially an infinite quantity of rocks available on the planet.

Not on my WD and Toshiba hdds

They can sometimes be brought back to life if you open them and add machine oil to the moving parts.

I've only had 3 or 4 hdds fail on me so far and all of them were making loud noises before death, yet all of them continued to be able to read data.

>tfw water will whittle away those carvings
NOTHING IS SACRED

:ˆ)

I have a stack of 14 SanDisk z400s ssd's that are completely dead. They came out of laptops that had been left in sleep mode while employees were on vacation. Somehow the firmware got corrupted by being left in sleep mode.

The controllers on HDDs can fail too.

Even black holes evaporate over time.
Entropy always wins.

like wtf?
Nothing would even detect 'em?

>swaps for another drive
>goes on about his day while zfs resilvers

Happened to me a few days ago, luckily the partition with most of my data survived, could save 230 gb on anime but I lost my Jow Forums folder

I have an old IDE drive that beeps while reading.
Can it be fixed or it's dead?

HDD Regenerator doesn't seems to do much. After 1 hour, it repairs some bad sectors but progress it's still 0.00%
