My OS is on a 512gb M.2 drive, but the main storage on my laptop was a 1TB HDD, it started making noise about 2 weeks ago so I backed everything up onto a 1TB SanDisk USB SSD. This afternoon it got very clicky when I booted it up after work and icons for a few games I had stored on it, like KSP and YUZU, disappeared from the desktop and taskbar.
main storage […] was
oh no
I backed everything up
OH YEAH 🥤
I was not fucking around 😂.
It started to sound like someone put a baseball card on a bike wheel and I had it packed full of mostly TV shows and moves I didn’t want to download again lol.
Some of your data may have still been borked BTW
It’s best practice to maintain a backup
I’m better at it than I used to be but unfortunately I lost a lot of data to learn that lesson
My drive started ticking a long time ago, I thought I successfully saved my data but when I dug through the drive a bunch of directories were full of broken files
You’re still trusting one drive with your data, and those ssds can die without warning. You’re still in the same risky situation with your data
True, it’s definitely in the plans to get a NAS with a RAID setup and it may be expedited to nearer in the future than I thought lol
ZFS is essentially a raid implementation. The principle is the same. From what I hear it’s probably the most popular implementation right now, and for good reason
When you click on shortcuts and the path was not found and suddenly common windows DLL are simply missing. RIP.
