Seagate launches new consumer storage lineup as AI, gaming, and backups eat your disk space alive

I hear a few "clicking" sounds from the laptop, and figure the #seagate #firecuda #hdd might have trouble. I run a 'short' #smartctl test, which returns no errors.
Still suspicious, I launch a 'long' test.
Instantaneously, the drive drops offline and stops answering `smartctl` queries. It's still shown by `lsblk`, but `dmesg`complains that the drive is inaccessible. Online info suggests the drive may be bricked.

Stupid due to hunger, I disassemble the hdd to see what's wrong.

I finally received the
#Seagate
#Firecuda 530 #NVMe #SSD and got up and running in no time. The system is very fast and super stable, so it looks like the #Acasis #TBU405 + Seagate Firecuda 530 is an awesome combo. Fuck #Samsung, never anymore.
