What were they thinking!?
Helium filled hard drive
what is the predicted lifespan of non helium drives ?
They were thinking that the lawyers and the accountants were right when they said "If we limit the warranty period, it'll only impact the balance sheet until it expires"
A 5 year warranty is fairly standard for an HDD.
there's a reason all the good hard drives have a 5-year warranty
MTBF is worthless metric since the annualized failure rates are much higher
Just use 100GB Blu-Ray Disc for long time data archive
SSD - system, programms, games
HDD - editing big data and files (3d modelling, photoshop, make game, etc)
BR-D - music, pictures, movies
no it isn't. It's standard for enterprise and high end HDDs only
>editing big data on an HDD
yea, no thx
>using optical disks
be gone, grandpa
BR-D =/= DVD
BR-D is 100GB and live 200 years
nobody asked. it's still an optical disk, fuck off grandpa
and what's next? Just don't scratch it
>predicted lifespan : 5 years
That's just the warranty and you know it. The reason is simply due to some of these witnessing a lot more abuse than your average home has drive. Now fuck off.
fuck this is the most homosexual, zoomer and cringe american post that i saw
Not the same user, but I disagree. My childhood made he have a disdain for all optical media. So many fucking dead drives and floppies just because of where I live and it's weird electromagnetic distortion.
Fuck niggers
Kek you just know boomer hands tapped this post.
Fucking unruly blacks spreading electromagnetic distortion everywhere they go
TURN OFF YOUR BOOMBOXES YOU MONKEYS
How do you dispose those?
More than your lifespan dear vax enjoyer.
Not mentioning Tape back ups
>NGMI
don't forget to check for bad sectors in your heart if you wake up tomorrow.
>disdain for all optical media
>So many fucking dead drives and floppies
Just unplug them outside and they'll float away
>Just burn your data 100GB at a time using blu-rays that cost about $10/ea
>$0.10/gb storage cost
If you're super paranoid about data, buy 2x hard drives that are big enough to fit your important hard drives. Put them both in a fireproof safe. Every six months, take them out and clone all data from drive A to drive B, put them back in safe. Next time, clone drive B to drive A to refresh the platters. Every six months is hyper overkill.
>but that's a lot of work!
so is burning your data to a spindle of blu-rays, to say nothing of retrieving that data.
