Buddy died 5m ago. I guess I have a new coaster :3
This poor laptop drive was serving me well as a jank storage pool on my Nas for almost 8 years now and today it died.
Edit: Coasters and fridge magnets acquired
That title was concerning before the picture loaded
New fridge magnets
Hopefully your shit is backed up
Remember the freezer trick? Dead drive? Freeze it for 6 hours inside a zip bag and then, if lucky, you will get one final spin to copy your Docs folder.
Worked for me a couple of times.
Disassemble it. Use the disks as decorations. Make it into a wind chime and hang it outside your window.
Nooo careful, everyone will know you're a nerd. Even the birds will shun you
I'm cool with that.
750Gb? That was a good era.

I dont know what to do with all the space I have left. Maybe I'll get into backing up 4k uhd blurays
16 years old? Nice
I have a 2006 drive that's still chugging along. IDE at that, haha
Where did you get 16 years from? The drive says date of manufacture as 2012. 12 years is still a pretty good run for a laptop spinner though.
