Never buy #ADATA / #XPG products. They suffer from #componentlottery issues, meaning they will switch components mid production if something cheaper or more convenient comes up. When your #NVMe #SSD eventually breaks down, the replacement under #warranty process is a fucking nightmare.

To compare, my NAS is using #Toshiba HDDs, and when one of them died, I quickly filed a replacement request with Toshiba, giving them the serial number of the disk and some SMART diagnostics. A shipping label was issued, and the thing was sent. Replacement arrived some weeks later.

ADATA on the other hand requires a tedious registration process, actual proof of purchase and payment for shipping to #Taiwan. This process ends abruptly, since I can't seem to find any proof of purchase anywhere. In short, the remaining 3 years warranty is fucking useless, because I forgot where I bought it.

Fuck you, ADATA.

Never buying your shit again.

PS: Backup, people. It's a thing.

In the meantime, I also started to install Linux on my Toshiba #Libretto 100CT. Curious to see what I can get out of these machines. #RetroComputing #Toshiba

It was 20 years ago that #Nokia dropped the N91—a phone so ahead of its time it packed a feature that felt like pure science fiction: a built-in hard drive. 💿

At its heart was the smallest #HDD #Toshiba had ever engineered. It first launched with 4GB of storage, then later doubled down with an 8GB model—an absolute monster for its era.
