I've legit once killed a hard drive by absentmindedly standing it up on its edge and then accidentally knocking it over on a hard table. It would seem to work for about two minutes when turned on and then would suddenly turn off and you can hear the read write head abruptly returning to the home position.
So you're telling me I experienced loss for real?!
My 1tb drive from 2011, 2tb from 2019 and 4tb from 2023 are the cast for this movie..
and my 250gb that died just last month after I used it for a week only.
The cameraman is my 320gb that is ticking but hasn't died yet even tho it has been ticking longer than all the above
Ah how fun for you. It's an old meme. Once you learn about it, your life will not be enriched and you will not be any wiser, you will simply be able to understand the inside joke which isn't even funny or useful or applicable anywhere. Every time something like this comes up on an increasingly rare basis. Google "Is this loss?" Or "Loss 4-panel comic."
