I don’t know who here likes Horizon games, but I like how many parallels the writers put in the game that reflect the state of the world.
a bit of a game spoiler
Like the whole premise of the story is exactly what this article mentioned: a multi billionaire CEO with a god complex completely wiped out the entire human database to erase any information of how he destroyed the world to protect his ego and image. Also why the new world is basically just bronze age level tribes.

That’s “free space”. The 414 represents ~62% of my space (38% used). I’m at just under 700 for usable space. And 2 disks are out of the array at the moment because the backplane went stupid. Turns out that it’s a pain in the ass to open server chassis to replace a backplane when you have to unmount 70 disks. And I’m pretty lazy.

Good thing I’m stocking up on used HDD’s.
How long do HDDs last though? I’ve got some from 2015 to 2018 manufacture date. Seems dated and old.
The oldest one I have is from 2007. Still works fine. As for how long they last it heavily depends on your luck. I’ve seen HDD’s from the mid-nineties that still work, not in person just to clarify. I don’t have any irreplacable data stored on them. It’s also important to use a filesystem that can detect corruption like btrfs, becachefs, or zfs.
