@neeno ikr, it makes me depression

@kescherRant or tore off and stuck to the platter. This is just more infuriating, is all.
-
@Parzi So, what are you going to replace it with?
-
@Jilano Nothing, no cash. Only other thing I have is my backup drive, and it's in use. Hell, that's not even in great shape.
-
Needless to say, back it up before it craps out entirely.
What does SMART say about the drive?
And is it really a rotating drive? I got rid of all my spinning rust platters a while ago.
Or actually, I probably still have one or two 2.5" drives somewhere in a drawer, I'm tempted to offer sending you one… -
@SomeNone SMART checks out and it does spin yes.
so apparently my desktop hdd is going bad in the most infuriating way possible: Read speeds are perfectly fine, but write speeds are literally peaking at 600 BYTES PER SECOND. I waited A LITERAL 25 MINUTES (i timed it, 24m51s) to get to the login process. It's performing worse than 320k floppies do.
The disk is 13% full and 0% fragmented. It's negotiating SATA 3.
Time to w&r ig
