I have another pc that I could do that but I was looking at bringing it over to Linux too. I guess I could have that stay on Windows until I obtain another drive.
Hmm ya, that’s definitely a concern in my location. Power goes out several times a year here, even if it’s just momentarily long enough to power off the PC. I should have a UPS but never had the spare cash to throw at that.
They’re not, and I can get one drive for sure formatted with transferring. I do get concerned with large scale transferring and worrying that the drive will die lol
This is what my searching has panned out to be. If I completely removed Windows from my system and do not run any programs from the NTFS drives, does my risk go down?
Issue is that I have around 30 TB of data and so getting a drive to shuffle data while reformatting instantly puts me in the $250+ range which isn’t really possible right now.
Put a finer point on it. If anyone I have shred of respect for is on the list, then I WANT to know. Why would I want to continue to support someone that’s on the list?
That’s a valid concern but not necessarily in this situation. No commander gets into what the wrench turners are doing outside of generating sorties and ensuring that stats are being reported.
The real options are engineering oversight or factor not accounted for, bad/defective/counterfeit part, support fuck up, or maintainer issue.
These kinds of mishaps are big deals on the flightlines for obvious reasons. This kicks off an intensive investigation. Here’s an older example.
Cool, time to lose my house.
