  • Unpopular opinion, but I really see no problem with this? They aren’t reducing the capabilities of the drive or anything. Three years is a damn good time to have a plan. Whether it be validating your backups, having a hot spare on standby, or double checking your RAID status.

    More importantly, for the average consumer who doesn’t maintain off site backups and may not have their NAS configured correctly to prevent data loss, giving people a head’s up that they are hitting the warranty limit isn’t a bad idea.

    It’s been a long time since I had a drive fail in just three years, but that’s still all I consider a guarantee.

    Gaming computer, I dropped Win11 because with PiHole blocking windows analytics, the whole OS slows down. Just opening the start menu took ~4 seconds with Ryzen 5950x on an m2 ssd with 64GB of RAM. Everything was sluggish. I’m back on Arch, but there are a few BattleEye/EAC games that don’t work I’d like to play again.
