@tubetime@mastodon.social Had a disk that was working great and the next day, it wouldn't start. Tried a few things with no success. Bought a new one, cleaned up the surroundings as best as I could, opened the lid a little & tried not to get any dust in there, helped the motor a bit and it was up & running again, I could copy the whole content. As an experiment I left it running, monitoring the errors. After 2 weeks, they started increasing. Not unexpected when you've been to HDD plant's clean rooms.
