What’s the bet the software they downloaded is malware and it’s crypto mining?

“I store my records on vinyl. You’ve probably never heard of them.”

I've used local hard drives from like 1992 and I have never ever gotten them to overheat.

Is this a real post? I can’t seemed to find it on that website “X, formerly known as Twitter.”

Maybe he left his shed lizard skin on top of the hard drive that caused the overheating?

IT guy checking in.

The only time I've even seen drive temp sensor alarms is on server raid arrays and other similar hard drives/SSDs.... Never in my life have I seen one available on a consumer device, nor have I seen any alarm for and drive temp, go off. It just doesn't happen.

IMO, this is one of those language barriers where people call their computer chassis (and everything in it) the "hard drive".

Applying that assumption, their updated statement is: His computer over heated.

Idk what kind of shit system he's running on that 60k rows would cause overheating, but ok.

I didn't know hard drive overheating was a thing. Should I be worried that my 5 year old hard drive is about to overheat. I mean is this actually a floppy disk or something?

Hard drive? How old is his computer?

Technically they could have had been using a computer without any temperature sensors or fans and each row was actually a 1GB file.

And also they had a hairdryer pointed the the drive.

It's possible!
