Finally... I'm back after 3 days without laptop. For the third time I replace the hard drive. All of them were SSD, so now I installed an used mechanical hard drive. I fuckin' hate SSD drive so much.
Mechanical Hard Drives should be back !

HDToolBox replacement: HDPart 0.6

Stefan Skotte has written HDPart, an RDB hard disk partitioning program for Amigas running Kickstart 2.04 or later, which is intended as a modern replacement for HDToolBox and "aimed at CF/SD-on-IDE retro setups".

My main server now has two #Toshiba hard drives. I have no idea why they are so unpopular in the #selfhosting community when they are cheap, quiet, and reliable. I suppose #WD and #Seagate have good marketing departments.

By the way, here's the physical harddisk drive, I am using within my virtual 86Box DeskPro 386/25 configuration. It's an old CONNER CFS420A from 1993 and its geometry closely matches Compaq's fixed disk "type 38", even though this one only uses 315mb of space.

Close enough! 😜

I'm at a point where I need to start replacing some drives on a cold-storage box. It's currently a 8TB capacity from two 4 TB drives logically mapped together on Debian. I just use it as a second cold-storage site.

Any feedback on minimum 8 TB spinning platter drives (>=7200 rpm; SATA) that have good long-term performance records? The current drives are probably 8+ years old.

Well, you can make the most of the long wait for the NAS hard drives to finish formatting by enjoying an authentic Viennese “Punschkrapferl” with a cup of tea for a sweet afternoon snack.

@cyberlyra re: buy a hard drive, I was all - what do I get?
I check wirecutter for such things, and usually available in Australia.
Bingo:
"Portable drives like the Western Digital My Passport Ultra (5 TB) require only a single USB cable attached to your computer, so they’re convenient to use and carry with a laptop in more than one place".

I've been reading that there are rumors that hard drives and USB flash drives might become obsolete due to a supposed shift toward the cloud storage.
I don't think that may be a good idea. So much to say about that stupidity.
