You got lucky. It's not that they are bad, it's just that half of them fail.

OP here, there was a reply before that used the anime theme that was deleted very quickly
>>53131875
Aye boi keep it up.
Most of my drives are spun down anyways most of the time, besides my Current C drive and the other 250 with SATA/150, the former boot drive.

Does this work on linux?
Is there an equivalent for linux?
Im running ubuntu and fedora.

Yeah, my WD is just a 2nd backup drive at his point.
And I thought HGST was supposed to be the best and yet the 1tb I bought for my laptop a few weeks ago failed today.
>>53131953
sometimes you get shit on .
i'm in the process of rma'ing my 390 a second time because of artifacts
>>53131949
I have a WD from 1995 that still works. (at least it did before i tossed the last computer i had that had IDE headers) that was a couple years ago. Even had a copy of puppy linux on it!
>>53131987
but how often was it used
>>53131996
Dont know. Not even too sure how i got a hold of it. But yet its here and works as far as im aware
>>53131975
Thankfully I managed to get 170gb of data off of it before it quit on me for good, and at about 1mb/s transfer rate as well. Gonna send it back tomorrow probably, I've got until March 12th to do that.
>>53131953
Sometimes things are dead on arrival. That drive probably was even though it took a week to fully die.
Shit happens, you got unlucky as fuck.
>>53132187
I'm almost certain it was because it had incredibly slow transfer rates the entire time I was using it >>53132013
I think I'll buy another one as soon as I get my money back and try again.

How fucking stupid can you be?
You can't complain if you get shit technology because of this.
>>53131254
That isn't very long and it isn't a very high power on count either. Most people will spin it up more in a single year. It would be kind of embarrassing if it didn't last that long. All of my drives, both WD and Seagate, have made it at least 5+ years and have never experienced a natural failure, only unnatural due to physical damage. And this is with daily usage for long periods of time.
You should still back things up though because hardware failure is a real thing and it doesn't always have to be your fault. That goes for all components and all timeframes of ownership. I still prefer WD blacks as non-backup drives but they're pretty expensive. Probably not necessary if you don't need a lot of sequential read/write combined with a lot of space.

>>53132761
cool
Only certain batch that got hit in the flood. Those in the shipping container got wrecked but seagate sold it anyway without testing and they broke within a year or so.
>>53133011
The fuck are you on about?
Seagate is shit because maxtor was shit and seagatebate maxtor
>>53133011
>muh Thai floods
I'm sick and tired of hearing this meme
Which company did Seagate buy out that was producing 7200rpm drives notorious for dying like a black baby raised in the ghetto?
>>53131254
About the warning (realloc sectors count) it's been like that for the past 3 years or so.
>>53131852
please provide the video source of that screenshot
>>53134613
can't take a screenshot right now because realvnc can't see certain windows (nice fuckin meme), but my 2TB seagate has shown a realloc sectors count that's not changed since 2012 and I got it in 2011 and it's still goin fine with 40k+ power-on hours
