Damn, a lot of trash talking on the last couple of pages.
I had an ATA drive fail. Does that mean all ATA drives are bad?
In the same vein, I had several SATA drives fail SMART tests. Also am using a SATA drive that has over 10 years power on time and no issues.
Just because some folk had a bad experience with something, doesn't mean the same make and model can't work well for someone else. I have a very broad range of graphics cards and CPUs, and over 150 motherboards (mostly untested as yet, but hope to get my work space set up soon). I look forward to making my own comparisons between hundreds or even thousands of setups. Just because I can, no other reason.
Nope unless its a Deathstar. https://www.extremetech.com/computing/326292- … -deskstar-story this story is also a valid point for my previous post about true junk parts.
SMART isnt always perfect either or a fool proof indication that a HDD is dead/dying/sick so I take SMART results with a pinch of salt but in the same vein I wont be using that drive for anything critical either. But as a retro HDD sure why not, if it dies I can always replace it easy enough.
150 Motherboards Jesus...do you own a storage unit or perhaps a large garage 😁 but that honestly does sound like a fun time you have ahead there.
I live in a 1 bedroom bungalow, and am most definitely a hoarder. I recently moved to a property with a garage, so a lot of stuff is in there until I get carpets and build new shelving for everything. I recently stopped buying new hardware. Now buying Doctor Who DVDs and Blu Rays. Gonna take at least until the end of the year to complete that collection, then probably 6 months to a year to binge watch them 😀
