Analitzen els resultats de 12 anys i 443,000 discs durs dels informes de Backblazeper afirmar que la marca HGST és la més fiable i Toshiba la que menys. Seagate i Toshiba fallaran gairebé el doble que WD i HGST.

Il RAID non serve solo a proteggere i dati: a seconda della configurazione può offrire più velocità, più spazio o maggiore sicurezza in caso di guasti. 😎👇️

🎵 ASMR de geek : le chant du WD Velociraptor 10 000 tr/min ! 🦖💽
Ce petit bijou de 2012 combinait la vitesse d'un SCSI et l'interface SATA... et surtout, ce bruit si particulier qu'on n'oublie jamais une fois entendu. Les anciens savent 😌

The whole LLM bubble has thrown a massive locomotive in my chain off storage.
It is now not feasible for me to buy USB sticks SSDs HDDs hard drives just to experiment.
Without experimenting I will not learn how to properly use new operating systems.
I have still not be able to test illumos in a proper manner...
To give an indication of the markup difference that I have, an 8TB hard drive which had cost me USD140 is now close to USD 400
A 64 GB microSD card went from USD 5 to USD 20 which throws a wrench into my Raspberry Pi operations.
USB sticks also went the same route. I use those to boot up the raspberry pies so that I can feed the micro SD cards with data
I've had quite a few HDD fail and some SATA SSD fail. All within the past two year and a half, and this is storage that I was planning to replace in this year.
It's a strange world that we now need data center projects in order to get small amounts of storage for own home use.

Dear macOS, there is no reason why opening a new tab in Safari requires a spinning beachball while you spin up a parked hard disk drive.

Time to refresh the home lab NAS since I don't think HDD prices are getting better anytime soon and my current NAS is 6 or 7 years old. I found some used disks for $25/TB which, at current rates, is pretty good.
This also lets me move away from Synology and I'm probably going with TrueNAS this time around with new hardware for the primary system.

Can't say I'm happy about my old external HDDs failing but at least there's a silver lining since I can tell when it's time to salvage important files based on spinning/operating noise.
I wonder if there's any differences between specific models/brands because previously it's been either a silent failure (bad sectors) or total data loss (clicking sound)? This is specific to external HDDs (I think I only ever got one internal #HDD that failed on me, must've been lucky or something).

Почему HDD стучит?
В последние недели много искал разные детали о внутренней работе механики и логики HDD и показалось, что неплохо было бы поделиться показавшимися мне интересными нюансами в этой сфере, которые тайной хоть и не являются, но редко мелькают в статьях. Статьёй хочется скорее пробудить интерес к бесконечно глубокой теме этих замечательных точных механических устройств и свежих трендов в их внутреннем устройстве, которые заставляют нервно курить в углу любой швейцарский часовой завод. Не будем объяснять базу , но все знают, что магнитные головки HDD, прицепленные с одного конца "коромысла", приводятся в движение магнитной катушкой "Voice Coil" зажатой между двух неодимомых магнитов с другой стороны (а в современных дисках есть ещё и точный "доворот" пьезоэлементами на конце, недалеко от самих головок). Когда HDD надо переместить БМГ (Блок Магнитных Головок) на другую далёкую дорожку, он подаёт на Voice Coil резкий импульс тока, чтобы сорвать массивную металлическую конструкцию с места в нужном направлении, а потом ещё один обратный импульс тока для резкого торможения. Если посмотрите на фото БМГ, то поймёте как велика Voice Coil во всей этой конструкции и что ускорения и торможения происходят с довольно большими перегрузками. Это как если бы автомобиль весом 1.5 тонны разгонялся до 100 км/ч за 0.05...0.1 сек, а тормозил со скорости 100 км/ч на дистанции 1 метр и человек массов 80 кг потяжелел бы до 4 тонн. Если головки нужно перемещать в диапазоне до 50 дорожек, то Voice Coil не работает, достаточно пошевелить кончиком с головками с помощью пьезо-актуатора, который умеет гнуть металлический конец "коромысла" на 1...5 микрометров. И прыгать за 8 миллисекунд нужно не между тысячами дорожек, а по всей поверхности блина от края до края.

SSDs are faster, more durable, and energy-efficient, while HDDs offer larger storage capacity at a lower cost, so the best choice depends on your needs.
Best for speed and performance: Use an SSD for your operating system, applications, and frequently accessed files.
Best for large, budget-friendly storage: Use an HDD for media, backups, and less frequently accessed data.
Hybrid approach: Many users combine both, installing the OS and programs on an SSD while storing large files on an HDD.
Choose an SSD if performance, durability, and energy efficiency are priorities, and choose an HDD if you need high-capacity storage at a lower cost. For most users, a combination of both provides the best balance of speed and storage.

I am experiencing this with #OpenZFS
➜ ~ sudo zpool status -x
pool: ughetto
state: DEGRADED
status: One or more devices could not be used because the label is missing or
invalid. Sufficient replicas exist for the pool to continue
functioning in a degraded state.
action: Replace the device using 'zpool replace'.
see: https://openzfs.github.io/openzfs-docs/msg/ZFS-8000-4J

errors: No known data errorsThis has already happened, but at a point where I didn’t mind losing the data, so I destroyed the pool and I recreated it from scratch, with no errors. Now, I would like to try to repair the corrupted data… Any tips? I would hate it if I have to throw away the hard disk, it’s less than one year old and I have been using it only for a couple of months… Is replacing the disk my only option?

Tiered Storage live: Wie ein ZFS special vdev den HDD-Flaschenhals an der Wurzel packt
Ein ZFS-Pool aus zwei 7200-rpm-Platten war durch Metadaten-Random-I/O ausgebremst. Mit zwei zpool-add-Befehlen im laufenden Betrieb wurde daraus ein hybrider Pool: heiße Metadaten auf gespiegelter SSD, kalte Massendaten auf HDD. Mit Baseline-Messung, Encryption-Stolperstein und ehrlicher Wirkungsanalyse.https://www.kernel-error.de/2026/06/24/zfs-special-vdev-slog-tiered-storage-hdd-flaschenhals/

LLM technological advances
We need to educate our elderly that many things they see on Walled Gardens, spoken by what looks like people, are in fact just Avatars generated with Large Language Models.
These things will:
- show whatever you like to see
- say whatever you like to hear
- become your personal echo chamber
- lie and hallucinate, to make you feel Superior
to accomplish that you stay there much longer than normal!!!
You are literally the battery that feeds that large language model and thus the Walled Garden
These things now look so good, that they are difficult to distinguish from the real thing, a recorded living person, unless you look frame by frame, like I have from time to time.
What will tip you off is that they will say exactly what you want to hear, they'll show themselves exactly how you like to see them, they will even sound like the way you want them to do.
Many Walled Garden clients have been recording our voices and phrases for years, thus that was easily to accomplish.
So not only do these things steal our ability to buy SSDs memory GPUs and APUs for normal prices, they also critically mislead our elderly and those who are LLM computer illiterate.
That can be a billion+ people
I have photographs / screencaps which I will deliberately not include, because I do not want to alienate those who want to read about the subject, but not have a large language model image plastered under this informative post
Inform your elderly!
Let them ask you if they are not sure
I have deliberately included the link to physical Walled Garden because those places just look so beautiful in that Verde colour
