Didn't know this. Recycling is good for ecology.
At work we have some Hetzner servers. About two times a disk broke; with RAID it was not a problem, a hassle, at least the first time, it was, yes.
- gist 8y ago> Recycling is good for ecology Looking at the recycling issue I wonder if you are using so many disks (that fail) if it is possible to ship them to a low wage (sorry) country have them taken apart and rebuilt using parts from other disks where different parts failed?
- 51lver 8y agoIt's possible to combine the parts from a disk with failed bearings and a disk with a failed controller to end up with one working disk, but it's not worth the effort unless your goal is data recovery.
- gist 8y agoHah why I said 'low cost country'.
- zaarn 8y agoSome vendors do that (look at recertified disks) but the failure rates aren't great.
