+Erik 1,812 Posted December 15, 2015 The files mirror server ate a drive over the weekend and will be offline until one arrives to replace it. After 2 long years of pounding away day in and day out we have to say goodbye to our dearly departed friend. Never again will I buy Seagate crap I'll stick with Western Digital. Had some WD drives that are 20 years old and still going strong. What a waste of good platters. *moment of silence is observed* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snailman 517 Posted December 16, 2015 Only the good die young? EH Rust in Peace I agree with WD. I have a very evil WD Black in my server... although it has 3-4 visitors a day besides me 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fubar512 1,350 Posted December 16, 2015 I've used Seagate HDDs on all my PCs going back to the first Medalist 20 mb that I had on my first PC, back in 1985, That is, until about 7 years ago, when my 3 - 6 month old 500 GB Barracudas started experiencing major data-loss issues (I went through four of them in three years). Today, I find that even the entry-level WD Blue drives are much more robust and have faster read/write times than more expensive and supposedly faster Barracudas. But as I was discussing with Wrench yesterday evening, back in the late 90s, WD had a spate of issues with their 4.3 and 6.4 GB drives. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Erik 1,812 Posted December 24, 2015 New drive is in and ready to rock 'n roll. I'll start the process to mirror our files shortly and before too long (22 days or so) it should have a complete copy of everything here. The links to the mirror will automatically restore on each file as it's duplicated on the mirror. All systems up and running. E 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
