And why was it only after you realized your Golden Girls directory ballooned past 200GB?

    this is the only true answer.

    like making backups only when the disk starts clicking.

      I’m waiting for the disk to stop clicking before I back it up. Any day now!

          You read my mind! Now help me read this dead mechanical drive, would you?

        Just last week I did a drive clone for somebody who’s disk reported a total runtime of over 9 years. The SMART stats only reported one pending sector and long spin up time but it was making noises that said otherwise.

        The clone completed with only three I/O errors.

          I got one a few months old that was clicking like something from The Last of Us.

          I swear SMART data is the most useless shit.
