That's a lot of money. Also, imagine this thing taking a shit after a couple of years and you lose all of the data you have on it.
Edit: made it a bit clearer.

Would probably be more upset about my 6tb of data at that point

In the name of stupid internet arguments it wasn't though. You were referring to a financial loss.

[–] penquin@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I see what you mean. I did mean both, and I should have made it clearer. Sorry. Fixed it

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well that's very non internet of you. Thankfully I found someone else to bicker with about it.

[–] penquin@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

😂 fucking fuck you you fucking piece of shit asshole you human garbage waste of oxygen you are. Is that what you mean by internet of me?

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Not even one mention of my mother?

[–] penquin@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

Nah, I don't mess with family no matter what. Family is sacred in my books. I wouldn't want anyone to insult my dead mother.

In the name of even dumber stupid internet arguments, it was. Data loss along with the price paid was an obvious inference.

I don't see it. Original statement applies perfectly well to an expensive blender for example.

[–] dezmd@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And yet the entire context is discussing an expensive SSD that would go bad, inherently implying data loss as part of the inferred outcomes. Not a blender or a crock pot or the LCD display of a 1997 Honda Civic radio.

It's the wrong explicit emphasis though. Faced with a bad 8tb drive my primary concern would likely be the data loss. It's pretty well known these drives have a five year warranty as well, so if it were bricked even, you'd likely be able to get the money back / drive replaced.
