I learned the hard way when the cheap PSU blew up and took with it the mobo, my drive and my backup drive. That was the year 2000 or 2001.
Since then I do have a good backup strategy (with most important stuff on amazon glacier).
So you learned the hard way losing your porn stash 😉 ?
Jk, and the drive is not for important stuff.
Thank you!
Mine is suspiciously looking like yours 😁 but Dell, and without the sticker...
Is it just a Dell rebranded Seagate? I mean Dell doesn't make drives right? And the serial takes me right to segate drives who are compatible s-ata.
Guess I'll gamble a couple of € to see 😁
That's exactly what I'd like to find, but you cannot, it seems, connect a SAS disk to a SATA slot on the mobo, only the other way around, with this adapter.
The comments also seems to say exactly that (you have to put 4 or 5 stars to comment, so that's a useless measure, gotta read those translated comments).
Yep spinning rust.
Wanted a scratch disk to aggregate all my sensitive information thats scattered and duplicated on smaller disks and thumb drives. Would probably keep it as an ultimate backup too (I got a real backup).
My thinking was that usually those disks are swapped out after 5 years when failure rates starts to creep up, but there's still is some life left, largely enough for some fun.
I don't know where you live but I got the drive for 30€ including shipping, a new drive is over 100€...
