A few drives did have a jumper on the drive that would get it
to exercise continually. Not that common at all, and I havent
noticed any of the current drives with that capability now.

Pity about harddrives being targets that can't send data by themselfs, Roddles.
They have to be polled, they can't "transmit "condition data" to the mobo/OS
constantly".

False.
Drives map out only 'to become' (ie recoverable read error) bad
sectors automatically, that's under ideal circumstances. Drives do
NOT map out unrecoverable read error bad sectors automatically.
That requires a write to such sector.
OSes could be more helpful in offering choices to the user on what
to do when such unrecoverable bad sectors are encountered.
Either in offering a ignore/retry/fail strategy or offering to
(destructively) take care of the problem so it doesn't reappear.

That's total bullshit due to the specs of the drive. When not under
power, they typically can handle 250 plus G shocks, and the way they
are packaged and shipped, no such shock is even possible to impart on
a drive without damaging the packaging. Hence, if the packaging is in
proper order, the drive inside is as well. They can even typically
survive 60G shocks when in operation.

Try again. In fact, **** that... YOU LOSE! Hands down!

Actually at least one drive manufacturer cites handling,
including shipping, as the major causes of premature drive
failure. Wish I remembered which one but that's not even a
guarantee their webpage or docs haven't changed in the
interim.

Over the comms link that he's useless without, child.

You are an idiot.
Nope. And they dont need that volume of data storage anyway.

You are obviously unaware of what is in place on a modern
battlefield, chump. They record live A/V streams nowadays.

I have made DVRs that are utilized on carrier flight decks.

You, on the other hand, have no clue what is in the channel at
present.
<reams of your puerile shit any 2 year old could leave for dead flushed where it belongs>

Do you ever make a post where you have been disputed where you don't
spew this same, old, tired crap response?

Get one to help you before posting again, if anyone
is actually stupid enough to let you anywhere near one.

Come back when your maturity level is at least half your numerical
age.

Pity about what happens between the pallet load and the end user.

If a hard drive in the box gets submitted to a 250 G shock, the
package will be damaged. Are you really so fucking retarded that you
cannot grasp that fact?

Pathetic, really.

You are a fucking retard.
You did manage to get that bit right.

As if your E-1 grade unqualified assessment means a fucking thing.
And made a VERY spectacular fool of yourself again with that bit.

See above, you retarded dipshit.

Yep, thats what happens with mass market commodity drives, child.

Absolutely incorrect.
<reams of your puerile shit any 2 year old could leave for dead flushed where it belongs>
If only you could eat a bullet for each of the thousands of times
that your pathetic ass has said that to anyone that has ever disputed
you. It shows how truly immature you really are.

You are pathetic in the extreme.

Hahaha... you are now in the process of making a total fool of

Irrelevant to his pig ignorant claim about
ELEVATED TEMPERATURES and burn in tests.

Grow up, repeat boy. You give the real folks in the industry a bad
image. That is aside form the utter stupidity of your claims.

Probably MaxTurd.

How much force do you think a 250G shock imparts?

If the fucking box is not damaged, the drive inside is very likely
not going to be damaged, and if it is, it was not done during
shipping.

You are a terminal pig ignorant fuckwit child.
You are obviously unaware of what is in place on a modern
battlefield, chump. They record live A/V streams nowadays.

No use to anyone stuck in that system, child.
I have made DVRs that are utilized on carrier flight decks.

Well whoopy fucking do. Completely irrelevant to the OP, child.

They aint always in that sort of packing all
