You've got to be fucking kidding me, comrades.
>>29270Bruh wtf
>>29281Did that workout?
Rare Toshiba L, they're a very good brand in my experience and others I know.
>>29278Massively gay
>>29266Samsung make the best NVMe's by a mile
>1tb>contains OS, software and games>has been filled and near emptied several times>4 years old>0 bad sectorsI can't praise Samsung enough, from batteries to LEDS to SSDs they just make great stuff.
>>29266>>29302Hey comrades, quick little update, that shit did not work. The drive literally shit itself as I tried to plug it back in…any time I try to plug it back in gives me an obnoxious clicking noise, completely undetectable. Pretty much means the disk drive is actively damaging itself and that my files are good as gone. This is actually incredibly sad because I had something which could be considered lost media, though I'm currently in talks with someone who still has the files from the old archive.org upload. Literally a greek dub by romanians who barely speak the language, shit's hilarious.
I'll just use my warranty and get a replacement, which will probably promptly shit itself too in 8 months. However now that I know this is a possibility with toshitba, I'll just start putting the really important files in DVDs. I'm that far gone when it comes to data hoarding.
Also don't ask why I'm using brazilian megaman pics, I just really like the artstyle, and admittedly the batshit insane writing has been uplifting in what's probably the worst month of my life. Not gonna bitch about it, but this would not hurt as bad if I didn't have actual problems going on. Shame too, the last five months were some of my happiest.
Just leaving this here since, yeah, I accidentally closed the tab before. Literally typing this as I'm redownloading FNV, it was my one comfort game lately.
>>29342The closest thing is all my pirated anime and vidya, though I sincerely doubt that'd get me in trouble since the content itself is not actually illegal, it's the act of downloading them (previously it was JUST uploading them, but greece is a shithole and recently made even viewing pirated content punishable by a hefty fine).
So yeah no that should still work, problem is that I don't have a thousand bucks to spend on it, plus I already gave the other guys the disk drive for a replacement, it's straight up broken as I said.
>>29341My brother suggested to me to get a backup solid state drive. Disk drives are prone to damage quickly due to using moving parts.
Also, remember how people collected DVDs and VHS tapes can some can still be watchable after three or four decades depending on how much they've been used?
Meanwhile, with flash drives, a lot of devices require you to "format your drive" which means I have to delete everything?
>>29366Yeah the problem is that SDDs are way too expensive, so an external HDD is just more convenient if I want slow load times for a lot more bytes, like 2 teras.
This is why HDDs becoming obsolete pisses me off. We should still have the option of like, a quadfuckinbillion tbs, but nooooo, you WILL buy your 500gb SDD and you're gonna LIKE IT, PEASANT!
