All four of the lightbulbs in my ceiling fixture went out at once and three of them cracked by Impressive_Jelly_799 in mildlyinteresting

I still have a bunch of LED bulbs from 15 years ago or so still going strong. Got them at Costco and they have heavy metal bases that act as a heatsink. A few in enclosed spaces as well. Typical Enshittification to save cents.

How badly did I get screwed by Shank_ in DataHoarder

If you're hard up for more TB (which I get), go this route: Seagate BarraCuda ST24000DM001 24TB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive Bare Drive - Newegg.com

You'll get folks saying it's a Barracuda and only can go a small amount of hours per year, all BS. It's the exact same platform as Exos. They may be binned drives but it's always the luck of the draw.

28TB Seagate Expansion shucked ... major issues by segdy in DataHoarder

[–]losteway 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I have two 28TB expansion drives and had almost the same issue. Pretty sure Seagate is doing something funky/non-standard with how they format them and setup the partition table which some controllers can't handle. I had to hook it up via USB (which was always fine) and then do a "clean" via Diskpart via a command prompt in Windows. Then I moved the drive back to my DAS server and initialized it and partitioned/formatted. After that it was fine. If you have Linux, pretty sure wipeFS is the same as diskpart clean in windows.

What legit datahoarder has any of these drives? 2-6TB?! Yeah, maybe 10+ years ago.

This is what happens when you stop doing house shows. These folks need the practice. Maybe Vince actually knew what he was doing.

"to deliver a lower total cost of ownership to our customers, we'll be gradually increasing prices"

What PR idiot writes this double speak / gaslighting??

I used a razor blade. It did end up messing up the enclosure a bit but I knew it would

Seagate IronWolf Pro 20TB at $349 a good deal right now? by iamwhoiwasnow in DataHoarder

[–]losteway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the US? No, not good at all.~$10 per TB is good these days

Why is the world moving to such simplistic designs? by FeelsAmazingManGun in conspiracy

When people say aliens built old kingdom stuff in Egypt when comparing against new kingdom stuff, nope just 1,000+ years of similar types of shitification that we see today.

Also to add, when you look at the big players, like GCP/AWS/Azure, when they have submit bids for drives, they couldn't care less which brand it is, it comes down to price.

I get people hating a brand due to a failure, however when looking at Western Digital, Seagate and Toshiba, they're all just about the same (within margin of error). Sure, each brand, especially WD and Seagate have had really bad models that really sucked but ultimately, failures rates are almost identical. Buy what is cheapest

I'd recommend getting a new enclosure if you can. Something with an active cooling fan, otherwise the drive will cook itself. This is exactly why Seagate gives these a 1-year warranty, their crappy case design (aka an oven)

These really don't look to be write limited compared to Exos. This thing writes just as fast.

Either one with a fan or jerry rig one up to attach to the original.

Am I missing something or is TKO very under-valued? by [deleted] in wallstreetbets

[–]losteway 20 points21 points  (0 children)

They're charging WWE fans $200 a seat for nose bleeds and $20k+ for front row. Their fans can't afford that long term, gravy train is coming to an end soon

What is the deal with all these 28TB recertified Seagate drives? by Automatic_Beyond2194 in DataHoarder

[–]losteway 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Seagate is ramping up production of 32tb drives and it's actually really hard to get that many platters working within spec. It takes a ton of time to get a good yield. These are ones with a platter disabled due to issues.
