And why was it only after you realized your Golden Girls directory ballooned past 200GB?

        I’m waiting for the disk to stop clicking before I back it up. Any day now!

            You read my mind! Now help me read this dead mechanical drive, would you?

          Just last week I did a drive clone for somebody who’s disk reported a total runtime of over 9 years. The SMART stats only reported one pending sector and long spin up time but it was making noises that said otherwise.

          The clone completed with only three I/O errors.

            I got one a few months old that was clicking like something from The Last of Us.

            I swear SMART data is the most useless shit.
