radiatorhums Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Matt, I just grabbed a 2TB Seagate external off Amazon for $85. It's a red case, so it was $5 cheaper than the normal black for some reason. I still had $10 in amazon credit, so was only $75 total. Not a bad deal at all. That's not bad at all. I need to get a new external too. I'm going to keep an off site backup at work (that's synced nightly) and a 2TB would cover music and some other things that would be difficult to get back. Edit : my last external had some issues with bad blocks recently that made it unuseable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I still don't get why I can read off mine, but can't write to it. It makes no sense. As far as I can tell, there is no corrupt data from reading, so it's all just really odd. I have all my lossless stuff on a flash drive, and all my music is backed up on Google Music at 320kbps (or birate the mp3's are in). I love how they offer free uploads up to 30,000 songs. My music is safe, and at worst I get it all back in 320 if I lose multiple drives some how. I wish I had a way to sync my data offsite too, that would be nice.

In my experience, when a drive has bad blocks it gets remounted as read only as soon as you try and write to that block. You can write to it until it hits that sector and that's it. I've always been able to read my drives with bad blocks (although any files that were previously written to bad blocks are corrupted). The hard drive in my current machine was giving me that problem. I was able to use dd to clone it and it was fine except for a few files. But it would make my system very sad if I tried to write to certain partitions. That may differ across OSes though.

Guest Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 That makes sense. So far it seems like everything is ok, but I have not watched all my movies or anything, just scanned through to make sure I didn't get any glitchy audio or video. The music I just deleted, since it is all on my laptop anyway. Hopefully I'm good to go, and can get everything backed up when the new drive arrives, since I'll be buying the new laptop in 2-3 weeks. If I can find another 1TB drive for cheapish, I'll probably grab one and use it for a redundant backup for my music (since it's obviously what I care most about) and store it at my parents in case of something really bad happening to my house.

Yeah, hard to say what is actually wrong with the drive. In my mind, any recovery from a bad drive is good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DecayToDeath Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I just got back from my first busy shift at my new job as a dishwasher...had to stay an extra hour because there was so much to do.

Youinreverse Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I worked at a sandwich shop in junior high/high school and I would always volunteer to do dishes. I wouldn't have to help customers and I had a ton of time to listen to music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bladewillisisdead Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Back in the day my buddy got a dishwashing job and like 5 minutes into his first shift the manager was showing him around and was like "This is the freezer. Over there by that chair is where you can smoke pot. Please blow the smoke into that vent there." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiatorhums Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I was never a dishwasher as my position, but I'd fill in occasionally because it was super fucking easy and I'd always end up getting OT because of it. I'd just listen to music and shut my brain off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad Heart Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Matt, I just grabbed a 2TB Seagate external off Amazon for $85. It's a red case, so it was $5 cheaper than the normal black for some reason. I still had $10 in amazon credit, so was only $75 total. Not a bad deal at all. Just grabbed all the files off my bad external, so now to just wait for the new one. Hopefully next paycheck I can get a new laptop with a ssd. Not too shabby. I think my 3TB was $100 from Best Buy. Seagate has one on their site for $90. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NapalmBrain Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 RFC sent me my replacement Pity Sex 7", just a plain white sleeve in a mailer. Luckily didn't show up damaged, this one is still slightly warped but it at least doesn't give me anxiety looking at it, like it's playing on a boat. Think I'm going to turn the other one into an ashtray and give it to a friend or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
