*Rant* How do TWO Hard Drives go bad at the Same Time *Rant*

I had 2 go bad in a day, about 6 months ago. It was from the most critical server we have, and its what finally convinced management to invest in better servers and redundancy. It cost us ~$12K to recover the data, and we lost crucial data for about 4 days.

Yeah, companies have more to worry about. From now on, I AM going to use RAID tho, probably just mirroring. I don't really care much about striping, and I don't see much point to it really.

Not likely that two would go bad at the same time.

Well, the Secondary started a downward spiral a few months ago, and I started backing things up. Then pretty recently, the Primary (OS and APPS drive) started doing the same thing. Like I said previously, they are both a little bit old.

Oh, I DID forget to mention that they both MAXTOR. (Yes, I didn't know any better. Seagate from now on.)


KeyserSoze

so your title is misleading? You, Sir, are a goddamn liar.

haha, that was funny.

Sure, I'll hook them up into another system, and run all the diagnostics again. Heck, when I can get a new system, I'll try to format these and use them again if that's the case.

I will try everything that you all have suggested.

Whatever happened to the good ole' days of ATOT where you could just come and Rant, and people would listen.

I challenge you to a duel Sir....

Zell Miller fan, huh?




KeyserSoze

No...Zell Miller is batshit crazy. I just found it amusing that he basically challenged a guy to a duel in the year of our lord 2004.

Yeah, it was hilarious. I thought it was a joke when they showed it on the Daily Show! That guy is definitely off his rocker.
