Just spent six hours cloning a hard drive (twice) because the existing one was giving "SMART: FAILURE IMMINENT!" errors. Cloned once, wouldn't boot on replacement (old stock from my "drive cabinet") so cloned again.
Now I realize the *REPLACEMENT* drive is worse than the existing one. After second clone, it's booting, but making *REALLY* funky noises, and booting *REALLY* slow. (unplugged original this time, to realize sound is *REPLACEMENT*)
Back to the drive cabinet for anotherβ¦
@ehurtley SSHD to the rescue?
@Bule_Betawi Nah. Vintage computer, good old fashioned era-appropriate spinny-rust drives.
@ehurtley π€ You do you. π
And the new replacement? Clone took 10 minutesβ¦
*SIIIIIIGH*
Fun when the "good" drive is actually worse than the bad drive.
