Somewhat tangent: Imagine my dismay after googling why two of my drives in my NAS failed within a couple of days of one another, and I came across a Wikipedia page dedicated to the drive's notoriety. I think this is one of the few drives that were so bad that it had it's own dedicated Wikipedia page.
- microtherion 1y agoSame thing happened to me with this drive: Lost the data on a RAID because two drives failed at the same time.
- beAbU 1y agoI did not even have a raid, I was too cheap to allocate drives to parity. So I had two of these and a couple of other drives in a JBOD array fused together into a logical filesystem using something I can't remember now. Maybe my approach was better in hindsight: I only lost the data on those two drives and everything else was left untouched. I guess if you know the drives are dodgy, put them in a JBOD array as it will limit the blast radius in case of failure.
