Śpieszcie się backupować dyski #SSD, bo tak szybko odchodzą...😔
Kurde no....nowy lapek, niecałe 4 miesiące i dysk padł nagle podczas pracy i koniec....
Fajnie, że sobie wziąłem z Precisionem gwarancję naprawy u klienta. W tym przypadku nawet nie musiał przyjeżdżać serwisant, tylko wystarczyło, że mi wysłali dysk i sam podmieniłem na nowy.
No i ten nowy widzi bez żadnego problemu.
Jednak plusem #HDD było to, że padały stopniowo a nie jeb i koniec..
My over 13 year old Iomega MiniMax 2TB HDD finally gave out, but I suspected it was just the power supply, not the actual disk inside.
Thankfully, a ~€20 SATA to USB adapter with a power supply brought it back to life, after I crudely extracted it from the Iomega enclosure.
Hab vom Schwiegervater einen Brummer von einer #Festplatte bekommen: eine Seagate ST-251-1. Dachte, es ist ein fall für'n Wertstoffhof, aber im Netz finden sich zahlreiche Angebote mit völlig abgehobenen Preisen. Ist das Ding etwa etwas Wert? #hdd#hardware#pcgaming
I'm testing out a new Encrypted External data drive. This is like out of a James Bond movie. Shoutout to Datalocker for providing the sample to perform testing with. #datalocker#encrypted#ssd#hdd#storage
Der EU-Binnenmarktausschuss will das von der Kommission vorgeschlagene „Recht auf Reparatur“ deutlich verbessern. Von einer nachhaltigen Kreislaufwirtschaft sind wir aber auch damit nach wie vor meilenweit entfernt. Dabei brauchen wir einen solchen Wandel.
People might wonder why I am a little hesitant about buying #Apple products now…
Back in 2011 I bought a used 2008-model #Apple#MacBook (MacBook 5.1), sporting a Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB RAM and a 160GB HDD.
It was in good condition. I updated the OS on there to MacOS X 10.6, dual-booted with Gentoo Linux. I later upped the disk to a 750GB HDD (SSDs were puny and a bit dicey back then) and upgraded the RAM to 8GB.
It was a good workhorse for a couple of years, except its lack of ports.
2 USB 2.0 ports is a pain to work with, netbooks have more. Plus the lack of RS-232 was a pain at work. I bought a Panasonic ToughBook CF-53mkII (pictured) to replace the MacBook at work, and used it as a work-from-home machine.
After a while, it managed to cook its original batteries, so I took the machine into one of Apple's vendors in Brisbane, and picked up a replacement battery. Installation on this model is a tool-free process.
A few years later, the machine managed to cook that battery too! So the MacBook today is battery-less. This means when disconnected from power, it forgets the current date/time, and if that magsafe power connector moves just slightly, the machine may shut down as there's no back-up power supply.
I've had several laptops over the years, but only one Apple, and this is the only machine I've used or owned that has cooked its own battery in such spectacular fashion.
I'm thankful its removal is a tool-free process. Modern MacBooks have their batteries glued in. Sorry, hard-pass!
Especially as the ToughBook here is still being used today, its original battery is still good for 2-3 hours (and I have a new replacement which is good for ~6).

After all, #LithiumIon and #LithiumPolymer if not all #batteries will INEVITABLY die due to use and/or age.
Same with #Flash dying after exceeding it's life cycles or #HDD's dying due to motor failures and gunked-up greases or since recently loss of #Helium...
Time to fix the #NAS during my coming vacation.
Currently there is only one #HDD mounted... which is not great at all.
Let's fix that:
Two new drives ordered to do a #ZFS mirror. 😉
Utterly stumped on solving this drive mount issue. Other drives have resized without issue, no lost files or mangled hashsums, but this one particular drive is giving me trouble... and nothing online gives a conclusive answer...
Broken HDD update: I found a neat little program to visualise the recovery operation. As you can probably see, it reached the damaged area. The grey parts are skipped blocks due to extremely slow read speeds. I might be able to fill them in later. For now, I want to get as much good data as possible.
어제 알아보니 #HDD 는 요즘 #CMR 이라는 방식과 #SMR 이라는 방식이 있어서 SMR이라는 방식을 사용할 경우 비순차 읽기 또는 기록에서 속도가 급격히 하강한다고 하더라고요.
그걸 피하려면 구입시 충분히 알아보거나 아니면 4TB를 초과하는 용량을 사야한다고... (한숨)
Huh. #ddrescue has been reading at 10 MB/s (the link speed) for nearly 11 hours and recovered almost 500 GB.
I don't understand hard drives. One moment they are broken and one reboot later they work fine until they randomly break again. This is not the first one that had such behaviour.
I wonder what's actually going on inside. I put my current theories below.
"Syncthing is not a backup!" they said. And I just learned why - the hard way.
Apparently, when moving files around, it can happen that it deletes them first and recreates them in their new location later.
I was reorganizing my files on the remote end when the remote disk failed. My local copy was in the process of mirroring the changes and is now incomplete.
Which means the only intact copy of all my files is on the failed disk. Wish me luck.
