Hey guys, for harddrives, how far do you go to ensure the drive is good before writing to it? Do you zero it out? single or multiple passes? |
|
02:01

instence |
Currently I am buying 2TB drives, from Seagate and WD, and I mirror them. So the data is spread across different manufacturers. |
|
02:01
🔗
|
instence |
I won't go 4TB due to high DOA rates. |
|
02:02
🔗
|
instence |
You read reports about drives going bad after 6 months. |
|
02:03
🔗
|
instence |
Currently I havn't been zeroing them out, and just copying files to them... but a failure could be looming off in the distance. Since I just write data to the drives and power them down (all in external enclosures and static Weibe-Tech cases). |
|

I was thinking of going 3-tier redundancy, by adding Toshiba into the mix. |

Just wanted to get some of your all thoughts on the topic. |

I personally don't do anything but load them out as needed. I think there's a software tool available for testing aspects of the drive. |

1 primary, and then 1 mirror, for each data-set, across drives from 2 different manufacturers is my current system |

Assume -every drive you buy- will fail at some point, and structure your affairs to ensure this causes you no problem. |

Anything that's important, anything you want to keep, ensure you always have more than one copy. |

more than two |

sod ensures that if you only have two, the other has already died. |

the moment you only have one working copy, is the moment it'll fail |

Oh! And there was that 6tb Quantum Fireball that sort of stopped working when I moved 20 years ago |

Possibly due to it being so large I couldn't properly mount it inside the desktop PC which I then boxed and rolled up the stairs while moving. |
