This poor laptop drive was serving me well as a jank storage pool on my Nas for almost 8 years now and today it died.
Edit: Coasters and fridge magnets acquired
16 years old? Nice
I have a 2006 drive that’s still chugging along. IDE at that, haha
That title was concerning before the picture loaded
New fridge magnets
Hopefully your shit is backed up
It was making weird noises for a long time, so I had enough time to move the data off it.
Thats what scares me about SSDs. No moving parts to indicate imminent failure
Well, you should be replicating /backing up data regularly anyway.
All data on my mobile devices is synced to a server, which replicates locally to 2 other storage devices, and is backed up to a cloud storage.
I largely use Syncthing for mobile devices (even Windows laptops), so I’m always using a single tool/process (less confusion this way).
750Gb? That was a good era.
