00:25 rue_house I shelved two 200G drives for 2 years, and neither of them work anymore...
00:34 rue_house seagate
00:34 rue_house one has tonnes of bad sectors and the other cant boot
00:35 rue_house (drive is making an ill noise and dosn't detect)
01:11 hackkitten rue_house: that's odd... were they exposed to strong EM fields? :)
01:13 MrCurious rue_bed: did you try the freezer + ziplock method?
01:13 MrCurious and did you have backups?
01:13 MrCurious whoops rue_house
01:14 rue_house I wasn't using them anymore
01:14 rue_house but I just wanted one for the shops new raid array
01:14 MrCurious so no data loss, and just sad that hd's arent forever :D
01:14 rue_house I would never expect sitting to kill a drive
01:14 rue_house no data loss
01:14 rue_house I think I'll go back to not liking seagate tho
01:15 GargantuaSauce i have a stack of 7 3.5" drives on my desk that i'll probably end up never using<
01:16 GargantuaSauce between 250GB and 2TB>
01:16 rue_house I carefully tuck away drives outgraded from maches, as extra backup
01:21 GargantuaSauce i should do that, a fire would ruin me
01:23 rue_house my shop is a seperate building, I have fileservers in each, there are basic cross-backups
01:23 rue_house if I was smart I might do a raid over the network and only have 1 "filesystem"
01:48 rue_bed ok, raid is rebuilding onto new drive... yay
