Should More of Us Be Moving to Live Near Friends?

Reply in thread

I agree with your points. Though for me a big difference has been friends I made before ~25 and friends after 25. There is no way I would want to live anywhere near friends I made before that age. Being in my early thirties, who knows how I'll feel 10 years down the line. Doing this communal living is a big commitment which might be hard to get out of.

Seagate Ironwolf or WD red plus drives

I wouldn't think so. 5400 rpm drives might last longer if we're specifically thinking about mechanical wear. My main takeaway is that WDC has the best. I would use the largest number available which is the final chart which you also point out. One thing which others have also pointed out that there is no metadata included with these results. For example the location of different drives, i.e. rack and server-room specific data. These would control for temperature, vibration and other potential confounders. Also likely that as new servers are brought online, different SKUs are being bought in groups, i.e. all 10 TB Seagate Ironwolf. I don't know why they haven't tried to use linear or simple machine learning models to try to provide some explanatory information to this data, but nevertheless I am deeply appreciative that this data is available at all.
