Every drive will fail. Every manufacturer will make a stinker now and then (75GXP, 7200.11, etc.) This is why backups are important. That said, a failure of diags (like a service engine soon light on your dashboard) is a warning that you should take seriously, lest you ignore it and the results...

It is letting you know that one file system is not capable of accepting or integrating all the flags or properties of the original file. This will often happen when you are copying data between disparate filesystems.

Come on. Thor had the Dwarves of Nidavelir forge Stormbreaker, and they have the heart of a dying neutron star in their workshop, how hard could it be for a storage company to make a deal to use that one!!!!

I would love to see this, but there have been press releases about the "next big thing" in Optical/Quartz/3D Crystal/Tape storage, promising hundreds of terabytes to hundreds of petabytes. It is always announced by a small research group at **insert company here** that always says it is "just a...

Taboo II was a classic!

They haven't said anything yet. The models we were EVT'ng are SAS dual actuator & HAMR so my guess is 2x-3x the current top-end-capacity enterprise drives.
