I'm glad these fucking things are obsolete and gone forever (from the consumer side)

I'll take your bait. I just got a 10tb one.
Anthony Gray
Just recently a 16tb drive was announced
Jaxson Adams
They're still too expensive for large amounts of storage.

Literally got a spare 320gb to make a redundant copy of my Japanese music and live concerts. Fuck off. Hard Drives are still godly.
Carter Jenkins
not him but I never had a drive fail in such a way to loose all of the data, some files were corrupted but i could copy and over and verify like 98% of the data

try harder.

I store my data on a huge ass array of 512MB microSD cards, that way I can only loose 512MB of data at a time
Jeremiah Cooper
I have 7TB of them spread over 4 drives.
I'd never use one for an OS but idk, they're still pretty great.

Spinning rust is still cost effective for large amounts of data where availability and not speed is the priority. I picked up 6x 10TB WD DC drives for backups. They work great in RAID6
Alexander Rivera
I have a 3tb WD Green drive that has been powered on for 31903 hours (3+ years) and has 0 errors; also none of my other mechanical drives have failed me.
I totally prefer SSDs in general but had a samsung ssd that died suddenly while I was copying some data... I trusted that thing way too much.
Levi Wilson
These. No way I'd use an SSD for anything remotely large or important.
Hard disks are like penises: large, reliable, and always there for you.
SSDs are like vaginas: good to have around in certain circumstances, but you can't fit much in them, and they disappear when you need them most.

Just store your porn online next time
Nathan Wilson
just backup your shit to multiple redundant offsite penises if it's remotely important
Kayden Gray
Server-sode too (especially).
Only used for mass-storage archives where speed is a sub tertiary concern.
Believe me, SAS flash has been the norm for the past two years or so, 2012 gamers beta-tested the unreliable 120GB for $500 SLA SSDs but they're worth it now.

offsite is the most important part. it's not backup if it's not offsite. if anyone tells you that RAID is backup you have my permission to kill them on the spot

Include me in the screncap pham

Thats such a missed opportunity

I just expanded my NAS with a 4TB one. So nice and comfy now.
Gavin Cox
This. I had a drive having a failure and I was able to save almost everything.
Leo Martinez
HDDs are still perfectly fine for general storage and general PC usage. SSD's are really only needed for modern games and if you do work that involves constantly transferring large files.
Grayson Lopez
okay, retard
Isaiah Cook
I just re-formatted a 1TB windows 8.1 drive to ExT4 for my linoox machine
Anything is definitely worth recycling if anything. they are far from being dead unless your some literally waste of space shit for brains who throws everything away
Cooper Richardson

I have a SSD as my main OS drive for Debian 10.
Is there a really easy way to make an active backup or 'restore point' on a HDD? Something I could potentially do on a weekly basis that won't take forever?
Isaac Young
preferably with a GUI interface, but not necessary
Tyler Peterson
yes, these are two completely fucking different concepts. that much should have been obvious from my post.
troll.
