thank you

so where do i go now?

I've definitely seen more hdd failures than ssd failures in my life, that said, enterprise storage is indeed very robust. My WD red pros have all been workhorses. And right now the price per dollar is definitely in favor of HDDs. That really needs to change though. The raw materials alone make HDDs more expensive to produce, the problem is only that there are less manufacturers with the means to actually produce the chips necessary for SSDs because HDDs have been around for a million years. Once that changes, I think HDDs will and should go the way of every obsolete storage medium thats existed prior.

i've installed it on at least 5 different computers so far. I don't think its luck.

ah shit.

lol, gotcha.

not a very good secret.

I thought we disliked colonizers here?

I'm definitely in the minority, but I like windows 11 a lot. Its got a lot of great features that 10 didn't have. And almost everything that people complain about in windows 11 is pretty easy to turn off or change.

what's wrong with windows now?

I know people like to trash it, but I've used enough linux in my life to appreciate windows. Just not windows update.

honestly though. I kinda dislike that a 40 or 50tb mechanical drive is even a thing. What we really need is larger, more affordable solid state drives. Mechanical drives have had their place, but their limits are fairly clear at this point. And your point about rebuilding an array makes that obvious. They are just too slow. This move by seagate to make ridiculously large mechanical drives, should not be the beginning, as this article suggests. It should really be the end.

one day you will get to move out and then you can build any kind of server you want
