You can store a lot of Linux ISOs on such a device!

In this economy? Dayum. Protect it from AI data centers.

100%. I go by this anyway:
It's like... from a decade ago though 🤣 I think...

Might want to redact the serial number from your pictures. The likelyhood that someone could do something with it is low, but better safe than sorry.

Thanks! I never thought of that... What are the risks?
Davel23@fedia.io · 6 pts · 7d
As far as I know the worst someone could do is mess with the drive's warranty status, but it's a generally good idea to omit unique identifying information from public postings.

Yaaaaay!!

Oof, it's a Seagate. Just make sure you backup your important files!
Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe · 7 pts · 7d
Regardless of the brand or age, backup is a given part of the process.
All drives fail.

I've had probably 2 dozen spinning HDDs over the last 25 or so years. I've only had 2 drive failures, both Seagate, and both less than a year outside the warranty.
Regardless of the numbers from data center reports, etc. showing how reliable they supposedly are, I'll never trust a Seagate with any of my data again.

I've had no Seagate failures in my life thus far, and I've got 5 drives from them by now. Backups aren't optional so I just trust trust the data-center numbers.

From like... A thousand years ago, but yeah 😁 backing up to a cloud, a local HDD and a portable storage device too!
