I've dd copied all my playstation 2 disks to a NAS, because they were getting old. Running those games on the ps2 off an external disk is a lot more effort than just putting the disc in though, so they are still my main goto

I know I should be concerned but I would like to know just **how** concerned I should be. in c/datahoarder@selfhosted.forum

I've noticed all my seagate drives have millions or errors, even the new ones, almost immediately after buying them. Western Digitals had zero for that same SMART category. I thought it was the fact that they tried to shingle the magnetic particles or something, leading to a lot of recoverable errors by design. Should I be sending all my seagate drives back for warranty?
