Current mission, recycle, repurpose or recoil! That iMac has a glitchy screen, Logic/MBoard issue? There's maybe a slim chance I could install and run minimal Debian on it for 'something'. Yes, that's a MKI AppleTV you can see. Three laptops and misc hard drives (even an IDE).

Einmal quer durch die Firmengeschichte von #Maxtor, aus denen letztlich #Seagate hervorging.

In nur drei #HDDs finden sich einige logische chronologische Veränderungen, die letztlich zu weniger Teilen und einer einfacheren Bauart geführt haben.

Finde das immer sehr interessant 😇

Anybody have any experience converting a physical Win2000 install to virtual? I'm stuck on inaccessible boot device and a lot of the resources on the Internet are dead links. Trying to preserve whatever was on this old drive. This seems like a driver issue but I don't really know.

Uso #archlinux su disco #nvme da 1T #sabrent (home non separata).
+
Un SSD #samsung da 256G dedicato a backup del blog + ISO varie ed eventuali: roba che se perdo poco importa.
+
Per #backup ho 1 #maxtor #usb3 da 4t che collego al bisogno.

Tutti con #luks + #ext4.

Il setup è ok, ma penso di mettere un disco meccanico da 4T in locale dedicato al backup incrementale ( #kup o #timeshift ) e poi questo lo copierò sul Maxtor esterno.

Pareri? Consigli sul disco da acquistare? Grazie 😊

I have a couple #Maxtor external hard drives (non-SSD) version.

I can't get them to show up on my file explorer on windows??? Any help would be great

Someone should invent a noisemaker that makes random #HardDrive sounds and what noise it makes is configurable based on a selected drive brand and type, so you could have it be #Seagate #Exos, WD Blue, #Maxtor, small laptop ones, 5.25-inch and larger ones, iPod- and Zune-sized ones, etc. This could be run on its own or connected to the hard drive indicator LED pins to make noise when a drive is accessed.
