The only thing more common than Star Wars fans complaining about Star Wars is Star Wars fans complaining that Star Wars fans complain too much about Star Wars.
You’re correct, but this is pretty much “Statistics 101”. Granted most people are really bad at interpreting statistics, but I recommend looking at Backblaze reports because nothing else really comes close.
Seagate drives are generally way more reliable now than the pre-TB days.
There is always a risk of premature failure with all hard drives (see the bathtub curve). You should never have only one copy of any data you aren’t okay with losing.
FYI: Backblaze is a cloud storage provider that uses HDDs at scale, and they publish their statistics every year regarding which models have the highest and lowest failure rates.
Tell them it was lost/stolen. Don't dispute any existing charges, but for security reasons they should still block any new charges made against the old card.
I’m sure there are exceptions… I haven’t tried every game. But most games in my Steam library work with 0 tinkering, and the rest usually just require setting a few launch options.
The only games I haven’t been able to get working at all are Riot games (vanguard anti-cheat is a b) and the VR mods for HL2.
