A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Ah yes, the Barracuda 7200.11 bugs. I wasn't impacted by those but maybe it would've been better if I did - it might've kept me from buying a couple of those infamously bad 3TB drives they released a few years later.
edit: also, FWIW, Toshiba is in the midst of spinning off a number of their divisions - including the one that's responsible for manufacturing HDDs so it might be the case that their old HDD division ends up being bought by Seagate or WD - much like what happened to HGST.
