79 Petrabytes written and failed

[silversurfer]

Is this an error in records or the reason why its failed after 2 years only, out of warranty unfortunately

 

[zakblood]

thats a lot of data

good tool info as well, not see that one before

looks like you need a newer, better one,

This was someones little dell laptop used for browsing the internet occasionally. If its a real figure it must have got stuck in a loop, a windows log file out of control maybe
Even if it had made a record of every single tcp packet it wouldnt have written this much, strange stuff

Poor little thing got worked to death

i know the feeling tbh

worked to death etc

in the other link i posted, user drive failed with next to nothing used and 3000 hours on

seems the program isn't all its cracked up to be, for some anyway

That's something like 1.3GB/second, every second of the day for two years solid. It's clearly wrong lol.

 

[silversurfer]

Pretty sure this model cant write 1.3gb. Can any model write that much per second lol

If your maths is right it must be wrong then. Pity as I've just sent him off saying his drive died a glorious death of a hero achieving a world record.
The only way would be via cached read/writes maybe?

well, 79PB is 82,837,504GB, or roughly 41.4million GB/year assuming the drive is eactly two years old of course. That's about 3.4million GB/month, or 3,320TB. It's absolutely huge lol.


For comparison, Crystaldisk says my 128gb samsung ssd has been on for 2,362 hours and it's written 1.4TB in that time. At my current write-rate on this drive, I will be on track for about 3.5TB written at the 5,832 hours on mark. 79PB is 80,896TB - 23,133 times more than what im writing to my ssd

What? I don't even...

Talk about dedication!

What a trooper! You should give it a proper funeral service... say a few words.. invite some family over.. etc

 

[silversurfer]

Its still going, its just wiped all his data. He is deciding whether to ask me to reuse it, I said it going to collapse if he does but maybe he gets lucky

I have a drive with 50000 hours powered on it but only a few terabyte written

Firstly, pedant mode on... I think you mean "Petabyte" not PETRABYTE.

I have to admit that I had to look it up to make sure...

Eh? According to my maths, 79.22PB = 79.22x1024 (ie to TB) x1024 (ie to GB)

=79.22x1024x1024 = 83068190.72 GB.

The software reports that the drive was on for 5831 hours, or

5831x60x60 = 20991600 seconds.

83068190.72 GB / 20991600 seconds gives us 3.95GB per sec, which is WAY in excess of the physical ability of a single mechanical drive.

Something is definitely wrong with those numbers .... or my maths...
