Б/У жёсткие диски Western Digital под видом новых в крупном ритейлере

Купил Б/У жесткий диск под видом нового в крупном ритейл магазине, хард оказался покрытым краской из баллончика. Читайте о моем печальном опыте и не повторяйте моих ошибок.

Gestern ist mir eine #NAS Platte abgeraucht

Wunderte mit über das dauerhafte Piepen, was ich dann im Arbeitszimmer identifizierte.

Seufz. Habe erstmal 1:1 Ersatz bestellt. Aber auch mal überhaupt nach #Festplatten zu schauen... Irgendwie weiß ich im Moment nicht, was da empfehlenswert ist (in Zukunft mal grundsätzlich auch in höhere Kapazität auszutauschen).

Bis dato sind immer #WD drin.

Ich wusste garnicht, dass WesternDigital (WD) und SanDisk eine Firma sind ... äähh, waren. Die Gründe der Trennung klingen genauso wie die, warum man fusionierte (Innovation, Wachstumschancen, effizientere Kapitalstrukturen, BlaBla,...). Wahrscheinlicher ist, dass #WD keinen Bock mehr auf den immer schlechter werdenden Leumund von #SanDisk hat.

Artist: #WDwilddrawing / #WD in City: #Wuhan China 01/2025 - Title: "The poem" - #Streetart #Art #Artist #Mural #3DArt #Anamorphic #Poem #LiBai

Streetart. A huge 3D mural with a young woman in a golden picture frame was sprayed/painted on the multi-storey exterior wall of a rectangular building. The mural with the brown-haired girl is full of Chinese symbolism. The background is an ornate golden picture frame with a painting of green lily pads. The lower bar of the frame curves upwards to form a curved bench. The young woman sits on it in a light blue satin dress with a Chinese pagoda printed on it. She is holding several objects in her hands. She has four arms and four hands. She is holding a parchment scroll, a cherry tree branch with a blossom and a flute. She is holding one hand to her forehead. In the photo, a young woman is sitting on a stone bench in front of the mural.
Info: The mural was inspired by a poem of the Chinese poet Li Bai, acclaimed as one of the most important poets of the Tang dynasty, and in Chinese history as a whole:
- Listening to a Flute in Yellow Crane Pavillion - I came here a wanderer
thinking of home, remembering my far away Ch'ang-an. And then, from deep in Yellow Crane Pavillion, I heard a beautiful bamboo flute play "Falling Plum Blossoms. It was late spring in a city by the river."

Anybody else experience with slow #update process of games on #steam under #linux? I have the feeling it should not take 1,5 hours for a 19gb patch to be downloaded and installed? The #ssd for the steam library is a #wd black SN770 so I doubt that could be bottleneck here. #gaming

Another thing I wonder if people know about is how WD actively hid the fact that they used SMR on certain drives, resulting in worse performance for writing of large files. Apparently this was a big controversy and made a lot of people abandon WD for Seagate.

This channel is awesome, by the way. Really data-driven usually; not just random opinions or sloppy benchmarks.

Well, there´s your problem!

(This busted TPS54339E step-down converter would explain why my WD 6TB MyBook decided to die exactly 2 weeks past its 2-year warranty).

Sometimes it's hard not to suspect #PlannedObsolescense - this has happened several times for me, especially with #Seagate and #WD hard drives...

I'm holding up the innards of a broken external hard drive. The drive still has its control board attached. In the bottom right corner of the board a very unhappy looking power step-down converter IC can be seen.

This configuration is currently under consideration:
- #Synology DS423+
- #Timetec 16GB DDR4
- 1x #WD SSD Red SN700 M.2 1TB
- 2x #Seagate SkyHawk 4TB in RAID1
- 1x #Seagate SkyHawk 3TB (old one)
- possibly plus an external USB3 hard drive for 5Tb
Any thoughts?

Технологический прорыв: WD выпустила первый в мире HDD на 32 ТБ. Конкуренты позади, хоть и временно

Источник. Компания Western Digital анонсировала первый в мире жесткий диск объемом 32 ТБ, в котором используются технологии ePMR и UltraSMR. Это модель WD Ultrastar DC HC690. Инженеры компании добавили дополнительную пластину, так что их теперь 11 вместо обычных 10. Достижение WD именно в том, что она первой выпустила на рынок свой диск такой емкости. У Seagate, например, были прототипы HDD объемом 30+ ТБ на базе 10 пластин с технологией HAMR, но в продаже их не найти. Что же, давайте посмотрим, что это за диск такой.
