    Anthony comes out as Transgender.

    Pickles von Brine got a reaction from Mando772004 in Will my storage devices affect my new PC?   
    Unless the drive is dying or infested with malware it will not affect the new machine.

    Pickles von Brine got a reaction from Needfuldoer in Anyway to fix my 7yr old 2tb hdd that's showing caution in crystaldiskinfo?   
    Please pull your data off you drive and replace it. Drives can die at any time. I have just had a new 20TB Exos drive die on me and it is not even 6 months old. Backup and replace.

    Pickles von Brine reacted to Godlygamer23 in Does Getting Parts from the same Manufacturer matter at all?   
    No, none of that applies whatsoever. The only real part of that synergy that matters might be the aesthetics if you're going for a specific look, but that's really about it. Some of it can also include brand specific items, like AIOs and fans. But absolutely no performance improvements because you paired an ASUS motherboard with an ASUS graphics card.

    Pickles von Brine reacted to AbydosOne in Am I wrong for being upset with Microsoft?   
    Pretty much that, except more like 12 years, based on the CPU generation. Software compatibility isn't ever a guarantee (look at the myriad platforms that used Java web plugins).
     
    More than likely, you could access the ILO pretty easily using a Win7 VM, which is a pretty trivial process.

    Pickles von Brine got a reaction from EphraimK in Do you own any Apple products, and what is your approach to them   
    iPhone, Apple Watch, AirPods and iPad. Use to have a mac. I use them ebcause they just work and I like the ecosystem. Good quality, I can get them fixed just about anywhere. Warranty support is top notch. Android is great but you never know what you are going to get per device. Apple, you know what you will have.

    Pickles von Brine got a reaction from Mumintroll in How do ssd's fail?   
    SSDs can fail in a number of ways. I have seen degraded NAND, failed NAND, firmware failures, controller failures, component level failures and everything in between. However, most SSDs die without warning.

    Pickles von Brine got a reaction from Ryker Robb in How long does data on a not used SSD last?   
    Bitrot is a thing but most SSDs can retain data for years. I have SSDs that are 5-6 years old that I haven't touched. Plug em in and data is still there. Same for flash drives. They do degrade over time but it takes a long time.

    Pickles von Brine got a reaction from Fasauceome in Will a WD Blue 4TB SATA drive work with an Intel dq87pg board?   
    If it has sata it will work. You could throw that drive in a system with a pentium 4 and it would still work.

    Yep. Still not sure what the person was doing.... They said they were trying to into the drive. That was literally all the notes on the case. XD Crazy enough if they do approve it can be partially recovered but man it is going to take some work. I envy the guy who has to work on it (not me)

    So, long time ago on OCN I made a thread called Xeb's Misadventures as a Data Recovery Engineer. Since OCN, well, is OCN I figured I would finally revive what I use to do. If anyone is interested I will post interesting cases that I run across, issues I hit, etc. Come along for the ride! My job ain't ever boring. I will make my first post later this weekend if I get time. 

    Just so you guys  know, here are the rules I am following:

    1) I will not reveal where I work. I prefer to stay private. Please and thank you. 
    2) I will not go into crazy detail. This is for fun, not engineering
    3) I will have a lot of things redacted for client privacy. So if you see things blacked out it is for good reason. 
    4) This will not be updated regularly. 


    For now I have:
    1) A WD drive with damaged translator
    2) Seagate drive with firmware issues an inability to write w/ media cache damage and crashing firmware. 
    3) A HORRIBLY degraded SSD
    4) A RAID 6 that has some funny business. - Still waiting on approval.

    For a large company one would think this would be handled yet it took them 2 days to figure it out. No reporting? Or are these systems very old and require manual maintenance?
