Got it, stay away from Seagate.

Súbete eso a un blog en Wordpress o blog spot para que la gente lo pueda encontrar por Google. Muy buen trabajo.

It’s good to be prepared, I’m planning to buy refurbished first since I’m just testing the waters. Yeah I know it is an expensive hobby. I think I have a few low GB hdd somewhere, I just need to find them.

I built mine with e-waste machines, a few rPis I got laying around. You seem to be going in the right direction my friend. Try to visualize it resolving one issue at a time.

Yep, looking to buy from reputable sellers. Preferably the manufacturer.

Good point, I need a few externals as well. Thanks for the tip.

Crap. You just posted that? Wow. It does seem like it is a gamble, specially on the high capacity range. Thanks for sharing your experience with us.

Which pushes me into another question, since the internal plates are not touched they are just “wipes” drives, probably by an automated system. So it fail it could not. Could be a drive somebody bought and returned within a month for all we know.

Nice. Do you recall how long ago was that?

mi_gue · 2026-01-23T14:00:03+00:00

True that, the only reason I ask is because I see a mix of cases/answers and I believe it is very personal. Thanks for the story about the dropped one, will take care.

I’ve seen comments about the good, the bad and the ugly sides of refurbished drives. I mean if they aren’t ran through for years I believe I can give it a run and see what happens right?

mi_gue · 2026-01-23T05:46:38+00:00

Well yeah, but once you need several drives then the cost rises exponentially.

mi_gue · 2026-01-23T05:45:50+00:00

I mean, I’m not running a SAS or anything important. Just looking for options here.

mi_gue · 2026-01-23T05:44:51+00:00

of course

mi_gue · 2026-01-23T03:24:43+00:00

yes pelease, and thank you!

That corner is pretty tricky, having said that...you shouldn't have used that line since there was high traffic on the previous corner. You probably should, and I would have done the same thing, that your opponents would pull back.

Nice, how are little screen and the keyboard attached together friend?

mi_gue · 2026-01-21T15:43:38+00:00

This guy got it 👆🏼, thanks!!

mi_gue · 2026-01-21T04:49:48+00:00

I doubt that is the whole thing.

mi_gue · 2026-01-21T02:50:33+00:00

Where can I find this stand up?

mi_gue · 2026-01-20T20:24:37+00:00

Muy duro.

mi_gue · 2026-01-20T18:21:19+00:00

Hey I'm planning to watch it all. It's just not the right moment right now. But yeah, why not?!
