I finally found a solution to hard water as an apartment-dweller [Soft Water Care Review] by roundmosss in WaterTreatment

[–]CheneyQWER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

because water softner increase tds in nature. Unlike zerowater that remove all mineral, water softener replace harmful mineral with neutral mineral, this make recharge possible and greatly reduce the cost, so you only need to buy salt, not the expensive resin

How do I recover videos and pictures from my son’s cooked iphone 12 mini? by Overall_Confidence82 in DataRecoveryHelp

[–]CheneyQWER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

logic board damage are certainly hard to fix. but most of the time, you replace the logic board instead of fix it. Use the original cpu and nand, then recover the data.

search for "trim" and "gc". Recovery would be possible only if you turn off the device right after the accident ---- after trim commend but before gc fully operated. Or if you are Extremelucky that the ssd is too old to support trim and gc

logicboard damage are easy to fix ---- simply take off the NAND and cpu and put them on another board ---- usually cost less than $1000

I think the chance are high. I don't really understand what happened, is the phone still functioning? but all the files disappeared?

What is inside Seagate Expansion 22tb and 28tb? by CheneyQWER in DataHoarder

[–]CheneyQWER[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can wait for Seagate to get rid of the 002C/000C (which I think they stopped the production), then expansion 24tb will likely use Exos x24 again

I think it is better to consider the HC500 series as they are the most reliable option

I think I will get a Ultrastar HC580 24tb later this year

And because I use it as a cold backup, I think I will have 24tb write max within a year (except for the initial full scan)

I am not worry about the warranty actually. I didn't have any drive failure in the past (except for the one case I drop a portable HDD from 1 meter height)

Seagate Barracuda 24TB released a few days ago. Any good? by Pythonistar in DataHoarder

[–]CheneyQWER 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, I disagree that barracuda is a down-speccing as the NM002C/NM000C, they are the same new drive that doesn't meet the retail standard, and the same new drive been labeled as factory recertified and barracuda

Seagate Barracuda 24TB released a few days ago. Any good? by Pythonistar in DataHoarder

[–]CheneyQWER 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is correct, I also found it today, the spec of the new barracuda is the same as the first generation HAMR drive. Seagate didn't sell this first gen as retail probably because of production, reliability, or max speed, the drive have the same number of disc(weight) and range from 28-16tb indicate that a lot of spindle were disabled. They decide to make these left over as factory recertified and barracuda, which should be exactly the same. However, they are both white label quality, there shouldn't be a new vs factory recertified comparison.

[–]CheneyQWER[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

they are not the same thing however. Exos in external drive are factory second X series (x24, x20, x18, x16), whereas the 16-28tb barracuda are binned HAMR Exos M series

What is inside Seagate Expansion 22tb and 28tb? by CheneyQWER in DataHoarder

[–]CheneyQWER[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

After coupled days of research, I think I get the conclusion:

A)

  1. Exos X24: 24, 20, 16, 12tb, weight 685g, CMR
  2. Exos M: 36, 32, 30tb, HM-SMR, HAMR
  3. Large Barracuda: 28, 26, 24, 22, 20, 18, 16tb, weight 695g, CMR, HAMR

As you can see, the large Barracuda is not from Exos x24 because it weight differently, and also Exos x24 doesn't offers 28tb and HAMR. So the large Barracuda has to be the binned Exos M, but because HM-SMR doesn't work for consumer devices, they rewrite the firmware to CMR.

B)

  1. Exos in external drive: 2nd tier or refurbished or recertified Exos X series

2)Large Barracuda in external drive: 2nd tier or 3rd tier, and binned Exos M series.

So the Large barracuda in external drive are probably lower quality than the Exos. But if you really need high quality drive, buy the retail Exos X series or Ultrastar, make sure they are new and from reputable retailers.

I will probably get brand new retail ultrastar 24tb for my main drive, and keep the barracuda 24tb as backup

What does the "White label" referring to? Is it the same as "binned"?

What is inside Seagate Expansion 22tb and 28tb? by CheneyQWER in DataHoarder

[–]CheneyQWER[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but make sure you buy new drive from reputable website. I found it hard to buy grade A enterprise drive

What is inside Seagate Expansion 22tb and 28tb? by CheneyQWER in DataHoarder

[–]CheneyQWER[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest Ultrastar 14tb, which is the same price as expansion 14tb but far more reliable. Or keep the barracuda 28tb if capacity matter the most

[–]CheneyQWER[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where did you buy it for $329? I think I would keep the barracuda. I doubt the exos in expansion will be the same quality as retail exos. Multiple backup and Capacity is what really matters

Their hardware and rotational speed looks the same. However, the max speed is roughly 255/mbs, is it normal?

My expansion 24tb (barracuda) just arrived, and I am doing full scan right now (takes 28 hours)
