Need help remembering the name of an anime...

RIP ANIMU （ ＴДＴ)ゝ

I can't help you, but goddamn. ༼;´༎ຶ ۝ ༎ຶ༽

It's always sad to lose your anime collection, throughout my life I've lost chunks of it more times than I'd like to remember, total of almost 64TBs... and that's RE-encoded anime, downloaded them and re-encoded them to make them take up only ~20-80MBs per episode instead of ~200-700MBs, it saddens me to think of all the time I spent doing that and downloading them since all the way back in 2002;~;

17tbs? Why no raid 5? that would have saved you. You say you lost a total of 64tb over the years. I think its time to invest in a server raid... I Archive my stuff on BD-r for the time being.

I don't have money to build a server anymore, hardly got enough to eat and half the time I don't even have that much, at most I can get external HDDs, reason why when they fail I end up losing a crapton of data! I really miss how they used to make older HDDs, high quality and with a very long longevity instead of cheaply made like today so they fail after a year or so right after warranty ends:/ I have old HDDs from the early 2000s that don't have the slightest issue and I still use to this day, but any HDD I've bought after 2014 failed within two years, it's absurd!

earlier hdd seemed to last longer. It is shit that they dont last like they used to.. there is no reason to make them so damn cheap. They are used to store important data. that alone means all hdd should be made better. SSDs are the worst to store data long term, as they can loose charge over time. in 10 years the manufacturers say is when data begins to degrade. we really need them holographic versitial discs that can store 4tb of data on a standard dvd size disc.

as for a server you can use any old core 2 duo and setup freenas and software raid 5. next time someone tosses out a pc you can use it.

SSDs are great if for less than 5 years, but HDDs are normally for VERY long periods of time (even cheap old HDDs lasted a good 15-20 years flawlessly with the higher quality ones lasting close to 30), hell, if we count IDEs too I have a still fully-functioning, never failed 50GB IDE that's 34 years old (still using it on a Pentium D system I keep for backup use or 8/16bit programs since I hate VMs/DOSbox that has XP SP2)! I get the excuse people use to support manufacturers cheaping out on parts, that "you won't ever need to store stuff that long, you should be getting a new system every few years anyways", but that's just BS, I upgrade systems/drives only once every ~6 years or so, no need for more often, but to have had 19 drives bought after 2014 out of the 22 I have bought but ONE out the 60 I have from before 2014 (did a LOT of part salvaging when in high school and have a crapton of drives around 300-500GBs and parts in general) it's utterly ridiculous, it's like they don't even pass them through quality checks anymore:/

Dude just get WD HDDs, they're super reliable. Get an external, they're likely to be red or white (slightly different red basically). Red is their super reliable drivers for servers, but are more expensive internal than external for some reason. If you want a more general purpose HDD get their black drive.

I've been rocking my WD external for many years, it's been through a lot and s.m.a.r.t. still doesn't report any errors at all.

Also ssd's are very reliable now as well, if you stick to Samsung or Kingston. https://www.extremetech.com/computi...er-ssds-actually-last-longer-than-youd-expect

If you want extra reliability, get an ssd that has MLC memory, not TLC. E.g. Samsung EVO 8xx or 9xx.

the 1st one, cases of murders DURING RAINY days, is probably PERSONA 3, can't help about loli one......

@IncredulousP WD ARE the most reliable currently, but judging by the fact that I have 22 relatively new drives like I said, most of them are WD and still failed, not as much as Intenso though, that cheap shit is the worst! Currently I'm using 3 WD Seasons 12TB disks, the only 3 drives after 2014 that haven't failed on me... I only use EXTERNAL drives, meaning I don't get to use the color series (which are all amazing), kinda have ran out of internal SATA slots (I have 6 2TB WD Green, which was THE best HDD to go for back when I was building this PC since it had by far the lowest TDP while only losing 3% overall speed compared to other 7200RPM drives, plus were all on discount for like 70€ each) and can't be bothered swapping disks.

I really don't get why you'd bother with all that considering the OP is about an anime but fine, I'll give it to you plainly:
ONLY an idiot will pay for triple the price for something that will work worse than currently, I want STORAGE, SSDs provide LESS storage, LESS longevity, make it almost impossible to recover files should they fail (no magnetic partitions make it a real pain in the ass to undelete stuff or generally recover anything since it's automatically considered "overwritten" due to how they work), can ONLY be really used internally (which I can't do since I have full slots and SSD on USB is one of the biggest wastes known to mankind since you are getting about 1/6th it's normal speed even with USB3.1) AND triple the price (I can get an external/internal GOOD WD HDD at just 90€/3-4TBs while it's like 80€/1TB for CHEAP SSDs here). I get it, SSDs are nice, but considering how much data I keep on my drives, I NEED as much storage space as possible, speeds couldn't matter less since I only transfer stuff around like once a month (and don't mind leaving it there while watching a movie or something).

PS: About that article, that's not really an accurate test, room conditions, different conditions of power, surges, longevity, etc. weren't even tested for. Sure, SSDs can take a lot of writting stuff on them, that doesn't mean they last a long time, those two are different things. It's like testing a lightbulb, you can say it lasts for 1000 hours for example, but if you keep turning it on and off (eg: small file transfers here and there throughout a period of days/months for disk testing), it will fry itself soon.

@leon315 It's not Persona 3, none of the Persona games have deaths on rainy days (Persona 4 has foretelling of ABDUCTIONS in rainy days) and like I said, it's a single OVA/OAD, not a series like Persona. Plus there's the loli and aliens involved...

Like I said, the external drives are still part of the color series. Open one up, you'll likely see green red or white, depending on how old it is. Red and white labels are nice and reliable. I am curious as to why so many of your HDDs failed though, anecdotally I've never had issues with WD myself. Maybe there's some environmental factors contributing to their failing? How hot do they get when running? Are you near any large power lines or transformers? How's the humidity? What about vibration?
Are you utilizing RAID to prevent data loss? Are the power lines supplying power to HDD nice and clean, no static/noise/voltage fluctuations/surges?

Also anecdotally, I've had a crappy 60GB Kingston SSD for...6 years? Still runs fine without error, here's hoping it lasts longer. Also, there are many different implementations of flash memory, check out MLC flash it should be more reliable over time. Oh, I also received a crucial SSD for free about 9 years ago because it had firmware issues. After re-flashing the firmware, I've been using it since with no issue. I wouldn't trust crucial myself, but I never expected it to last more than a few months, let alone just under a decade. Tbf it's not on 24/7 but I have written severals hundreds of TBs on it.

Anyways, it sucks to lose data, I hope you find a solution that works for you dude.

Wish I could help you, but my search turned up nothing. Being able to figure out the correct combination of tags would be the deciding factor in finding it.
