Almost every bit of data i have is redundant. The stuff I back up to cloud storage is the stuff I would care about if my house were to burn down. But that stuff is all double, and triple backed up, locally as well.

Yup, if you can put em in a closet or something, you're golden.

exos are fine if you don't mind them being loud as hell.

You're listing a lot of brands that are mostly known for their ssds / NVME drives. This convo is about mechanical drives. By their very nature, SSDs are bound to be more reliable than HDDs.

However, when it comes to mechanical drives, western digital is waaaaaay more reliable than Seagate. Always has been. Maybe a lot of people don't use mechanical drives anymore, so their frame of reference is skewed -- but seagate makes trash mechanical drives. They have NEVER been reliable when compared to WD.

Anyway Hitachi made/makes shit mechanical drive and Samsung was never really known for HDDs. Crucial only makes solid state drives.

the people downvoting you are the inexperienced.

we could have a big argument on the power dynamics you're talking about, and I don't really want to, but I will note the slew of pogroms in the middle east and ask you read about why the Bar Giora was formed. This was not a one sided affair.

and you talk about murdering whole families as if that wasn't the intent of pogroms. Again, both perspectives need to be taken into account.

as for the stuff about the Judenrates, I don't really want to play games with you. Tell me what your point is or drop it.

the bias is strong with this one.

and to the mod who removed my post for misinfo, yeah this post

Removed Comment - reason: Misinformation. “Palestinian population is rising in Gaza”. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/1/1/gaza-population-falls-6-percent-since-start-of-war-statistics-agency-says First, the palistinian population is actually rising in Gaza. Second, look at the middle east man. how many jews have been killed there? every other country outside of israel, the jewish population has been nearly completely eradicated. does that not count as ethnic cleansing to you? october 7th happens and then you blame Israelis for defending themselves. Hamas wanted a war. It got a war. Before 1948, there were pogroms all over the region. During WWII arab politicians literally allied with themselves with the nazis. And you ask why Nakba aka The War of Independence happened. It was self defense. It’s always been self defense. pointless argument though. You have an agenda and no amount of logic will ever change it.

This is not misinfo. Your aljazeera source with hamas sourced numbers is the misinfo. really gotta stop sourcing numbers from the hamas run palistinian ministry of health. and yes, the palistinian central bureau of statistics sourced numbers from the ministry of health, says it right in the article.

my source for the ministry of health being unreliable: https://henryjacksonsociety.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/HJS-Questionable-Counting-%E2%80%93-Hamas-Report-web-v2.pdf

i get that you don’t like what i’m saying but i’m not the one ignoring facts here.

your ignorant perception of anime aside, there are more than a few notable exceptions. You clearly haven't seen much anime. I do love when people who have no idea what they're talking about are so opinionated though and so confidently incorrect.

thank you!

we're a long fucking way from helping any of those people with this stuff. this is for all the multimillionaires out there.

wtf do you think oct 7th was? fucking hypocrite. all hamas does is attack civilians.
