Peach@nonfedimemes maybe they should rename the "seagate barracuda" into "seagate bermuda"...

Emilion@nonfedimemes I am not sure that Seagate qualifies as keeping "files safe" then.
Joe W@emilion @nonfedimemes In German IT circles there was ages ago the saying "Seagate - sie geht nicht". Funny how quickly Seagate made people forget about the IBM deathstar drives, even if those were real pieces of proverbial!
(Seagate is homophone to "sie geht" = she works, "sie geht nicht" = she doesn't work)
xXgarland@nonfedimemes what is the lore between the seagate barracuda drives, regular breakage?

@xXgarland
It's specific to the 3TB size and the failure rate was higher than floppy disks

God those 3TB drives were terrible. I had an enterprise data center customer that had racks of servers using those drives and I was RMAing cases at a time (usually 1 a week) and at least 50% of the replacements were DOA and around 30% of the remaining died after less than a week in use.

Jason123santa@nonfedimemes I have a 4tb Seagate and it has failing sectors. Has been working fine even despite that. Except for the fact its slow.
