There are people in first world countries with only 1 hard drive - sh.itjust.works

Baffling. Its also becoming the norm to not even have a PC.

Interesting. I don’t even know how many hard drives I have, but if I had to guess, at least 15 of them still work, and my 3 top hard drives add up to 10TB and are all effectively brand new.
Exactly ha. I have like over 15… But my one gamer friend just has his desktop with a 1 tb ssd in it. I’m always confused when he has to install games when i have multiple hundreds installed all the time!

Oh I do have even more than that even that probably still work, but the extra ones I didn’t count came from my late father and they’re encrypted. Those drives are in the 80GB to 320GB size range, so no immediate reuse to me, I keep them around for whatever files I can extract off of them whenever I get around to it.

Damndest thing, last year, 11 years after my father passed away, I was actually able to guess his encryption password, because well I knew my daddy ya know, so I have already extracted some of those encrypted files. Mostly personal files of his though, no fun games or anything, but information I’d like to keep regardless.

the drives may die at any time from old age, better backup them soon if you can afford it.
