I overhauled my computer today, found two things... My waterblock is clogged again, down to a trickle of flow, not bad enough to be dangerous at idle but I've had to order some fresh O-rings from Germany and will need to rebuild the damn thing again.
Some of the nickel plating is scraped off down in the micro channels, and the flow-restrictor is stainless steel, which is a high-nickel steel... All the fittings in the loop are also nickel. (I was trying to minimize things that would galvanically react to each other...) BLEH... The other discovery was that my /home drive is a 3.0 tb Toshiba unit from 2014... man time flies!!! =P This means that the thing should probably be replaced due to being old as hell... I'm not going to get too excited about 24 reallocated sectors on a drive this large... Actually I have a drive in my NAS that's going down hill rapidly, I think the power supply to the slot its in is weaker than the others and well... Any thoughts about running a drive this old, and what I should be looking at as a replacement? Root is a 256gb SATA Samsung SSD, no concerns about lifespan on that drive. I hadn't heard of M.2 yet when I bought it... /dev/sdb1 2884152536 955486476 1782136424 35% /home SMART Attributes Data Structure revision number: 16 Vendor Specific SMART Attributes with Thresholds: ID# ATTRIBUTE_NAME FLAG VALUE WORST THRESH TYPE UPDATED WHEN_FAILED RAW_VALUE 1 Raw_Read_Error_Rate 0x000b 083 083 016 Pre-fail Always - 262570 2 Throughput_Performance 0x0005 139 139 054 Pre-fail Offline - 72 3 Spin_Up_Time 0x0007 159 159 024 Pre-fail Always - 405 (Average 316) 4 Start_Stop_Count 0x0012 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 244 5 Reallocated_Sector_Ct 0x0033 100 100 005 Pre-fail Always - 24 7 Seek_Error_Rate 0x000b 100 100 067 Pre-fail Always - 0 8 Seek_Time_Performance 0x0005 119 119 020 Pre-fail Offline - 35 9 Power_On_Hours 0x0012 093 093 000 Old_age Always - 53677 10 Spin_Retry_Count 0x0013 100 100 060 Pre-fail Always - 0 12 Power_Cycle_Count 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 243 192 Power-Off_Retract_Count 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 271 193 Load_Cycle_Count 0x0012 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 271 194 Temperature_Celsius 0x0002 181 181 000 Old_age Always - 33 (Min/Max 14/44) 196 Reallocated_Event_Count 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 27 197 Current_Pending_Sector 0x0022 029 029 000 Old_age Always - 1456 198 Offline_Uncorrectable 0x0008 100 100 000 Old_age Offline - 0 199 UDMA_CRC_Error_Count 0x000a 200 200 000 Old_age Always - 0 -- The vaccine is a LIE. #EggCrisis White is the new Kulak.
