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
Exactly my point.
In the name of stupid internet arguments it wasn't though. You were referring to a financial loss.
I see what you mean. I did mean both, and I should have made it clearer. Sorry. Fixed it
Well that's very non internet of you. Thankfully I found someone else to bicker with about it.
😂 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?
Not even one mention of my mother?
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.
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.
