Me after initial compile of new software I’d written:
Wow. There are fewer errors than I expected!
@feloneouscat Just last week I was trying to rescue a flaky partition -- 4TB of tennis games.... not sure that the new message brought any more relief though... lol
One word: backup.
I have a 5 TB drive (and a git server) for my development. Also, hard drives do not last more than 2-3 years at best.
@feloneouscat Not enough resources to back up a 6TB drive.. lol and yes this drive has been going about 5 years now. The other 6TB internal is also pretty full...
I do have all other data, esp DTP data backed up, but that many tennis games....no
Yikes!
I’m looking into replacing my three 2 TB SD drives (and 5 TB hard drive backup) with four 4 TB SD drives (two drives for original and two for backup of the original).
It’s a chunk of change but it would REALLY be nice to not have the whine of a hard drive.
That happens next year after 4 TB drops below $200.
@feloneouscat A little memory lane... I remember buying a 2-GB SCSI drive for US1400.00 ($2800.00 BDS our currency).. and now, gargantuan TB drives for spit!! lol
@TheAbbotTrithemius Yup! AND I had a party to celebrate! hahaha

I remember my first Gigabyte HD and I though I was in fat city!
@Lucky188 @feloneouscat @TheAbbotTrithemius Remember Stacker? My first 10 MB drive and I discovered Stacker... was boasting to the world I had a 20 MB... lol.
Remember too what doorstops they were? They ought properly to have been classified as offensive weapons😂 😂
@feloneouscat @TheAbbotTrithemius @Pat_Walrond Yeah that OMG I'll never run out of space now feeling doesn't last long.
