That’s a lot of data to lose all in one go...
- neolefty 6y agoIt's also a lot of data to squeeze through a 250MB/s tube. 110+ hours to copy?
- phaemon 6y agoVery similar comments were made when a 25GB HDD was announced: http://web.archive.org/web/20001219170800/http://slashdot.org/articles/98/11/11/1011216.shtml http://web.archive.org/web/20001219170800/http://slashdot.or...

- jonplackett 6y agoThat was very poetic. Upvote.
- phaemon 6y agoHave you never owned a hdd larger than 25GB? Surely you know from personal experience how it turned out.
- crististm 6y agoI don't get why they should all vanish in one go. Unless there is a problem with all the heads and all the platters then you should still be able to recover a lot of data. But what do I know, I returned an 8TB drive three weeks ago after it started developing bads and soon crashed with 2TB of workload in less than 24h of runtime. First the OS did not see it, then the BIOS stopped seeing it and now I think I won't see it any more. Good to know it has 5 years warranty but it shattered my trust in the model.
- numpad0 6y agoOne head crash kills an entire drive because the access arm is a single block of aluminum with one head each for each platter that swings in and out. They do not move individually. Imagine a vinyl record player, stack up six of them vertically, connect all tone arms at counterweights to a single bar running height wise.
