@nonfedimemes@wetdry.world seagate is the only guaranteed way to protect your files from yourself

@nonfedimemes maybe they should rename the "seagate barracuda" into "seagate bermuda"...

@nonfedimemes I had a seagate barracuda 3tb for years and it just stopped working one day...
I learned about all the memes afterwards

@nonfedimemes I am not sure that Seagate qualifies as keeping "files safe" then.

@emilion @nonfedimemes In German IT circles there was ages ago the saying "Seagate - sie geht nicht". Funny how quickly Seagate made people forget about the IBM deathstar drives, even if those were real pieces of proverbial!

(Seagate is homophone to "sie geht" = she works, "sie geht nicht" = she doesn't work)

God those 3TB drives were terrible. I had an enterprise data center customer that had racks of servers using those drives and I was RMAing cases at a time (usually 1 a week) and at least 50% of the replacements were DOA and around 30% of the remaining died after less than a week in use.

@xXgarland
It's specific to the 3TB size and the failure rate was higher than floppy disks
