Hype for the Future 155A → Hard Drive Technologies
Introduction Hard drive technologies have been of significance in the modern technology industry, from early models such as IDE technology to technologies such as EIDE, SAS, SCSI, and SATA, with SAS notable for the fastest drive speeds in revolutions per minute. In any case, however, each technology has since been superseded by similar technologies and succeeding models in the form of solid-state drives, notably with systems based on SATA and later. Read/Write Speeds The transfer speeds […] -

In mid-2024, I bought a bunch of WD/HGST 12TB refurb HDDs for $75 each. They came from GoHardDrive and had a 5-year warranty. I even used the warranty on a drive that died a couple months later. All good.
I see now that GHD is now entirely "sold out" of these drives. However, they have plenty of relabeled MaxDigitalData 12TB drives. These are just the same refurb WD/HGST drives, but with a GoHardDrive house-brand sticker on them.
All to say that my 5-year free-replacement warranty appears to have been swapped with a "30% off" coupon on those 12TB drives (which now cost $250 each). Because, now, GHD can just refund the original $75 purchase price and say they don't have replacements anymore.

Same for #HDDs, #SSDs, and #NVMEs btw.
I really think this shit needs to be:
a) Illegal internationally.
b) We need someone like the @EUCommission to come up with a plan to have our European companies as well as any company that is actually selling towards European Consumers (including smaller businesses) ramp up production.This shit is insanely stupid right now...
