It’s been sounding like a dead fan bearing in the rack for a while, there’s really old machines in there. Turns out no! The drive did the screeching. I was stunned for a second when the noise stopped upon its removal.
Platter smoke. Don’t breathe this!
Is that the Striped RAID I keep hearing about?
/s
Just spray some WD-40 in there, format it at half the capacity, and send it!
You got this 👍
Seagate: …
It’ll go way faster than 5200 RPM if you do that
At least you know the data is wiped XD

The hard drive was just trying to turn itself into a much trendier vinyl record.
The bits just have that analogue warmth that you don’t get with conventional drives
There’s nothing funnier to me than the jargon you get from “audiophile” gear, especially when it comes to stuff in the digital domain. I’ve seen “audiophile” network switches.
Or fiber optic cables with gold plated connectors.
So that’s what striping a drive does.
That mixtape had some really cool tracks.
Yep, that's me. You're probably wondering how I got into this situation'tis but a scratch!
I had no idea hard disks came ribbed for her pleasure.
“you want me to do what to wipe that drive?!”
Save the magnets, lol.
I’ve taken apart most of my failed drives over the years. For laser pointer projects that never come to fruition.
Gotta feed the fridge 👍
Don’t breathe this
Is that a Will It Blend reference?
Obviously, has to be.
Always nice to see what spinning rust looks like after I run shred -v -z /dev/sda. I bet that drive has lots of zeroes now.
Hm… To shreads you say.
That drive is cursed
