Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    I can't recall the exact model, but it's some form of Seagate Expansion Desktop, sort of like the ones shown here. Mine was 1.5 TB, IIRC.

    Thanks for that link. Wish there was a bot to translate links back into normal YouTube videos like there's one to send you off to that other site, but it's easy enough to manually change the URL I suppose. Anyway, doing that is way beyond my skills, and I'm not sure the data would be worth paying a professional to do that either. I can't imagine that comes cheap.

    I would recomend something more repairable in future, sorry for your data loss

    Opening a HDD on your own is usually a terrible idea.

    HDDs need a completely dust free environment so that no dust enter the harddrive.
