And what did you achieve today? Other than disparage people for fighting for their beliefs, and for what’s right? Not every battle is a victory, but if you don’t even show up, the war is lost.

Nice! They were definitely killing it back then.

I have a 2TB WD Red from iirc 2013 or 2014 working as my downloads drive. 28,125h (3y 2m). Most of that power on time is in the last year and a half. 0 errors.

I also have a WD Black 1TB from 2009 that has been in gaming PCs, media servers, in an enclosure as an external drive and in my Unraid box. I ran out of ports on my HBA so this grandpa is sitting in a drawer right now, but the power on has to be over 5y. I’ll try to check later.

I may be out of the loop/uninformed here. I only ever stop at dollar stores if I need a cheap greeting card or gift bag.

Is it just the low quality of products there in general that are designed to break, therefore keeping people who shop there for many things in poverty?
