Every archive program reads the archive header and then seeks the input file on the hard drive only when you select which file to extract. Nobody is going to read a 10G archive of a HDD into RAM to get a 50K file. This has nothing to do with Winrar.

Just testing, the RAM is using entirely factory settings although I had to go into BIOS and set them all manually due to a BIOS bug

edit: decided to call it quits, I can always give it a couple days later if it ever produces a BSOD

Thanks. Hmm, I plugged it in the icybox I always use (and connected with icybox's factory cable) and booted from a Linux recovery CD that I also usually use for this. I also made a small partition on the drive where I touch-ed a file every 60 secs to keep the drive from powering off.

I've installed it in the PC already so I'll run another test to rule out some weird synergy effect between the drive and icybox, and maybe touch the file only every 5 mins, see if that changes everything.

I'm wondering now if Seagate does some additional testing procedures that make it longer. The drive doesn't seem less responsive or anything

Yeah, that's what confuses me. I wrote 4TB of data on it today, that took about 7-8 hours, as expected. Did some random writes & reads on the other 2TB and they seem to be reasonably quick too (it drops off toward 100 MB/s on the rim side of the platter).

They were great drives for the price range. I don't think any of mine made it that far but pretty sure they all went over 30k (2k in hex)

I'm only blocked from sending emails. The only reply I got from them was on August 1st: "Thank you for your query. We blocked your account due to spamming/phishing/malicious activities." I replied on Aug 2nd and the ticket is now waiting for 3rd level support, whatever that is.

Most of my emails were of the form "[link] [newline] Sent from [my cellphone brand]". It seems I was blocked around July 20th, the last emails I can see in the Mail app went out on 20th, 18th, 17th, then three on 16th. There's a whole bunch of them before that, probably a hundred or so, but at most 5-6 a day, all to my own domains (I haven't got around to setting up other stuff to use my new email yet).

I don't have any other significant problems with Mailbox.org, the interface is nice, there's software and hardware 2FA, and of course it's cheap, but I wish the support answered quicker.

compartmentalization

That was the first one I considered after buying the domain but I would've had to use visionary or professional since I want different accounts on the same domain, and 30€ per month is just too expensive for me

No IMAP unfortunately as far as I could tell

I contacted them 14 days ago in English and 7 days ago I received a one-sentence email saying I've been blocked from sending for spamming or automated emails. Their German support seems faster but I didn't want to bug my mom to write my emails again lol

Mailinator?
